As most indicators continue to show the gap between the rich and the rest getting bigger, renowned author and economist Thomas Piketty’s latest book strikes an optimistic note.
In A Brief History of Equality, Piketty argues that the world is broadly on the right track to reducing socioeconomic inequality.
