#capitalinthe21stcentury #ThomasPiketty #LecapitalauXXIesiècle Capital in the 21st Century. What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas...

Her tar han for seg ulikhetens politiske og ideologiske historie og diskuterer hvordan ideologier...

For small and medium-sized enterprises as well as for the working and middle classes, it is impossible to create a subsidiary to relocate its profits or income to a tax haven. For all these...

In most of history and most countries, the top decile owned most of the total wealth. This could be assumed as a constant of societies. Governments and laws of course play a role in smoothing out the distribution to make it fairer, but the scope of its impacts in my opinion will stay limited. What you can do instead is to Become So Good They Can't Ignore You (Cal Newport). I highly recommend reading Cal Newport's books: Become So Good They Can't Ignore You and Deep Work. You can check his...

Occorre un sistema che consenta un’ampia condivisione del potere, della ricchezza e della gestione delle imprese. Un socialismo partecipativo, che superi i limiti sia del capitalismo che del socialismo di Stato. http://www.festivaleconomia.it
