Everyone's been talking about Thomas Piketty's sensationally influential book Capital in the 21st Century, from op-ed pages to classroom discussions to political strategy sessions. Piketty has hugely advanced our understanding of global inequality and of income distribution at the top. As a result of a vast amount of new research on the distribution of income over the last three centuries, we now have a clearer picture of the process that has resulted in constant upward redistribution of wealth, as ownership of capital becomes ever more concentrated. We discuss Piketty's proposal to impose more sharply progressive income taxes and stiffer inheritance taxes.
