Thomas Piketty: The long-run economics of wealth inequality

Thomas Piketty, Professor of Economics at the Paris School of Economics and bestselling author of Capital in the 21st Century, tells The CORE Project (https://core-econ.org) how he "tries to be useful" by collecting long-run data into the distribution of wealth - and what it tells us about the effects of wealth inequality on society.

CORE is a global community of learners, teachers and researchers that is transforming how economics is learned by bringing recent advances in the field to bear on societal challenges such as the future of work, climate change and inequality, using free interactive online resources and implementing the best new teaching techniques.
