Francuski ekonomist Thomas Piketty je uzrokovao senzaciju početkom 2014. svojom knjigo o jednostavnoj, brutalnoj formuli koja objašnjava ekonomsku nejednakost: r > g (sa značenjem kako je povrat kapitala - [r]eturn općenito viši od rasta gospodarstva - [g]rowth). Ovdje, prolazi kroz ogroman skup podataka koji ga navodi na zaključak: ekonomska nejednakost nije nov fenomen ali postaje sve gori, s mogućim radikalnim utjecajima.

Nove misli o kapitalu u 21. stoljeću.

Economic inequality rises when the return on capital consistently exceeds economic growth. Historical data shows the top 10 percent now hold 60 to 70 percent of total wealth, a dramatic concentration compared to a century ago. The gap between returns on wealth and overall economic growth accelerates this trend, making it easier for fortunes to multiply across generations. Without new policies, this imbalance threatens social mobility and the foundations of democratic societies.
