Capital and ideology piketty6/8/2023 Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system.

While I’m not in the habit of re-reading books – mostly because book blogging and a huge TBR compel me to look forward rather than back – I decided to make an exception for this first stand-alone novel in Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series: back in 2011 Best Served Cold was my introduction to this author and to the concept of grimdark fantasy (and although I enjoyed it, it took me an unfortunate long time before I read the three books that precede this one) and what this re-read taught me is that, apart from the core concept of the novel, I had practically forgotten the majority of narrative details, so that my drive to re-acquaint myself with the story ended up feeling like a first encounter.
