    I’ve read both Capital in the 21st as well as Capital and Ideology.

    Imho, just read Capital and Ideology after reading Marx

    It’s more comprehensive and wide ranging in its analysis. It’s still very socdem as others have noted, but there’s no other book which has charted the dynamics of the world’s wealth over centuries

    I.e. while Marx depicts the original accumulation of Britain in Vol 1, Piketty aggregates the original accumulation of most of the world’s empires, even though he uses socdem framing
