Work Description

" Les questions économiques sont trop importantes pour être laissées à une petite classe de spécialistes et de dirigeants. La réappropriation citoyenne de ce savoir est une étape essentielle pour transformer les relations de pouvoir. " T. P. En présentant l'évolution en longue durée des inégalités entre classes sociales dans les sociétés humaines, Thomas Piketty propose une perspective nouvelle sur l'histoire de l'égalité. Il s'appuie sur une conviction forte forgée au fil de ses recherches : la marche vers l'égalité est un combat qui vient de loin, et qui ne demande qu'à se poursuivre au xxie siècle, pour peu que l'on s'y mette toutes et tous. Thomas Piketty est directeur d'études à l'EHESS, professeur à l'Ecole d'économie de Paris et codirecteur du Laboratoire sur les inégalités mondiales (World Inequality Lab, WIL). Il est notamment l'auteur du Capital au xxie siècle (2013) et de Capital et Idéologie (2019).
