Reviews of Books I Haven't Read #1: Piketty's "Capital"

I haven't read this

In 700 pages densely packed with charts, equations, and all manner of stats, and seasoned with some post-modern social science, the French economist Thomas Piketty makes the case that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Capital in the 21st Century is the must read this summer for liberals, though no one quite knows why. Highly recommended for those who haven't already heard Leonard Cohen's Everybody Knows, which has the advantage of being both funny and short.
