This is a snack-sized introduction to Piketty’s research-based thoughts on how historical changes in cultural and societal norms have fed into inequality (and how inequality has changed over time) - things such as inheritance, tax structures and access to education. It’s an overview rather than a deep dive, which was ideal for me as it’s not an area I know much about, and I found it interesting overall.

I particularly appreciated the European focus - it makes a nice change from reading about the US and UK - and since Piketty is French, there was a decent amount about France, which, again, I appreciated.

A snack-sized, data-based introduction to the effect of culture and societal changes on inequality.
