A Brief History of Equality

by Thomas Piketty

translated by Steven Rendall

Originally published as «Une brève histoire de l'égalité» (French), Éditions du Seuil

In this powerful new work, Thomas Piketty reminds us that rising inequality is not inevitable. Over the centuries, we have been moving toward greater equality. Piketty guides us with elegance and concision through the great movements that have made the modern world and shows how we can learn from them to make equality a lasting reality.
