Super!

The volume of data and histories that Thomas Piketty has worked through are unprecedented.His writing style easy to follow, and the knowledge he has and shares simply amazing.In many ways, this book can be seen as part of the trilogy, or potentially a summary of Piketty’s recent works. If you didn’t make it through the 800+ pages of ‘the Capital’, which presented an amazing amount of data (alas, western centred, due to availability), nor the even longer but more international sequel, “Capital and Ideology” (2019), which I myself have yet to get through, then “A Brief History of Equality,” is just what you have been waiting for. In “A Brief History of Equality”, Piketty defends: “the possibility of a democratic and federal socialism, decentralized and participatory, ecological and multicultural, based on the extension of the welfare state and progressive taxation, power-sharing in business enterprises, postcolonial reparations, the battle against discrimination, educational equality, the carbon card, the gradual decommodification of the economy, guaranteed employment and the inheritance for all, the drastic reduction of monetary inequalities, and finally, an electoral and media system that cannot be controlled by money”. (2022, p.237)It is all that it promises to be and more. And in much less pages than his previous books!I highly recommend it and greatly enjoyed re-reading it!
