    Summary:

    It is easy to be pessimistic about inequality, which we know has increased dramatically in many parts of the world over the past two generations. No one has done more to reveal the problem than leading economist Thomas Piketty. In this book, Piketty reveals that the grand sweep of history gives us reasons to be optimistic because, over the centuries, we have been moving toward greater equality.
