I learned about this book called Capital In The Twenty First Century by Thomas Piketty a few days back from a friend whose track record of buying books and then not reading them is slightly worse than mine. There are far too many books that I have bought and haven't read. The goal for the next two years is to first complete the ones I have in my shelf already and then move on to something else. (not going to happen I tell you)
I digress.
The book is a monumental work of the fifteen years of research by the author. Some people consider it to be at par with The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, the father of modern Economics. I'm neither a good judge nor a reviewer, but I follow some people who have guided me towards better books (Gaurav Mathur) and better movies(Mradul). Riku Sayuj is one such person who recommends this book highly. I hope that if I get to finish it, I would have a better understanding of the economic environment of our times.
Someday maybe..
