Book Description
Excerpt from England's Wealth Ireland's Poverty, Vol. 9 It may be thought that the present is not an opportune time to issue a book upon the Irish question. The subject is supposed, for the moment, to have sunk somewhat into the background. I do not think that this opinion will prove to be correct, but it can only exist with regard to grievances which have been discussed. In Ireland, as in other places, a claim irresistible in its urgency may arise at any moment, and, if such a claim should prove easy to understand and to deal with, there is nothing in the state of public business to prevent its being considered. An issue of this nature has been raised since the last Parliament was dissolved, in the facts which have been disclosed with regard to the taxation of Ireland.

Capital in the Twenty-First Century
Author: Thomas Piketty
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674979850
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 817
Book Description
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In this work the author analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. He shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality--the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth--today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values if political action is not taken. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, the author says, and may do so again. This original work reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.
