It was a long time and I only read a few chapters from the beginning. But from my perspective the book is interesting only as a source statistics rather than an explanation of why things are how they are. Also Piketty is explicitly not a Marxist so don’t get any hopes up about that.
My suggestion is to read a few chapters from the beginning. It doesn’t require that much time investment but you will be able to see what the book is about.
okay then ill probably skip it, i would have to order it online first and dont want to spend my money on some reiteration of a socdem view on marx that i already know anyways
ty for the answer
Just pirate it. If you don’t know where to get it from let me know. Reading books digitally is not a good experience but for a couple of chapters it is bearable. Piketty is dogmatically liberal but the book is still worth a look at least. IIRC Xi Jinping made a list of sort of books of the year and it was in it. Even though it is banned in China lmao
