These works have led to emphasize the role of political, social and fiscal institutions in the historical evolution of income and wealth distribution.

He is the author of the international best-sellers Capital in the 21st century (2014) and Capital and ideology (2020). -- Danish Institute for Advanced Study (D-IAS) is a national elite center at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) that sets the framework for excellent research.
