The Queen Mary Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IHSS) Annual Symposium seeks to recognise and bring to Queen Mary University of London each year a scholar who has recently contributed a ground-breaking piece of work in the humanities and social sciences. The inaugural IHSS Annual Symposium was given by bestselling author and economist, Professor Thomas Piketty on Thursday 2 July 2020.
Professor Thomas Piketty discussed his 2020 release, ‘Capital and Ideology’, during this online event. ‘Capital and Ideology’ is the follow-up to Piketty’s bestselling ‘Capital in the Twenty-First Century’ (2014), which was influential in changing the way politics, ideology and history are thought about.
