In this volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty’s vivid first draft of history – on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond.
