Пикетти, Тома цитаты

Тома́ Пикетти́ — французский экономист, получивший известность благодаря исследованию причин и последствий неравенства доходов. Профессор Высшей школы социальных наук и Парижской школы экономики.

Автор бестселлера «Капитал в XXI веке», где рассматривается концентрация и распределение богатства в течение последних 250 лет. В книге утверждается, что скорость увеличения капитала в развитых странах стабильно больше, чем темп экономического роста, что это приводит к имущественному неравенству, которое лишь увеличивается со временем. Чтобы решить эту проблему, автор предлагает перераспределение через прогрессивный всемирный налог на имущество. Wikipedia

“I am trying to put the distributional question and the study of long-run trends back at the heart of economic analysis. In that sense, I am pursuing a tradition which was pioneered by the economists of the 19th century, including David Ricardo and Karl Marx. One key difference is that I have a lot more historical data. With the help of Tony Atkinson, Emmanuel Saez, Facundo Alvaredo, Gilles Postel-Vinay, Jean-Laurent Rosenthal, Gabriel Zucman and many other scholars, we have been able to collect a unique set of data covering three centuries and over 20 countries. This is by far the most extensive database available in regard to the historical evolution of income and wealth. This book proposes an interpretative synthesis based upon this collective data collection project.”

In answer of the question: "Your book fits oddly into the canon of contemporary economics. It focuses not on growth and its determinants, but on how the spoils of growth are divided. In that sense, it reminds us of similar concerns in a book of similar title written 150 years ago: Karl Marx’s “Capital.” What parallels would you draw between the two?"
