Книга Томаса Пикетти «Капитал в двадцать первом веке» стала одной из наиболее обсуждаемых в последнее время работ по экономической науке. В ней представлена общая теория функционирования капиталистической экономики, соединены теории экономического роста и функционального, а также личного распределения доходов. Исходя из анализа долгосрочных временны х рядов, Пикетти утверждает, что при капитализме преобладают факторы экономической дивергенции, включая рост неравенства доходов. Показав, что бо льшая часть XX в. была лишь исключением из этого общего правила, он предлагает меры экономической политики, призванные сделать развитие капитализма в ХХI в. более устойчивым.

Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty - one of the most widely discussed economic books in the last decade - provides a unified theory of the functioning of the capitalist economy by linking theories of economic growth and functional and personal income distributions. It argues, based on the long-run historical data series, that the forces of economic divergence (including rising income inequality) tend to dominate in capitalism. It regards the twentieth century as an exception to this rule and proposes policies that would make capitalism sustainable in the twenty-first century.
