Capital and Ideology Free Audiobook Download by Thomas Piketty


With the release of his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty has been hailed as the most important economist of our time. This renowned French economist's work is not only a study of income inequality and its consequences, but also provides a startling insight into how capitalism is changing in a time of accelerating technological change.

Capital and Ideology is an audiobook by Professor Thomas Piketty on the theme of Capital. He describes how income and wealth inequality has grown over time, especially in Western countries. He asserts that capitalism can no longer be justified as to be able to have a society that is fair the wealthiest must pay their share.

This book is about capitalism, and its connection to inequality, wealth distribution, and economic growth. Piketty argues that the main reason for this inequality is because capital (money) does not grow at the same rate as the economy. This has led to a growing disparity between those who earn wages and those who own capital. Capital inflow has greatly exceeded the growth of wages and in turn has led to wealth being concentrated into fewer hands while the rest of society struggles to make ends meet.

Capital and Ideology is a study of the evolution of capitalism, how inequalities are created, when they can be justified and how they eventually lead to conflict. One of the biggest themes of the book is that capital creates its own justification for why it's justified.

Capital and Ideology is a critical examination of the economic and social impact of capitalist economic systems. Using data from across time, Thomas Piketty's work provides a recordable amount of information about capitalism in general, as well as a review of the various thought experiments that have been proposed to alter it
