<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>Twenty-First Century Inequality & Capitalism </em>collects critiques of Thomas Piketty's 2014 book from different perspectives, such as those of critical theory, global political economy or public sociology, drawing on the work of Marx or the Marxist tradition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Twenty-First Century Inequality & Capitalism: Piketty, Marx and Beyond</em> begins with economist Thomas Piketty's 2014 book. Most chapters critique Piketty from the perspective of critical theory, global political economy or public sociology, drawing on the work of Marx or the Marxist tradition. The contributors focus on elements that are under-theorized or omitted entirely from Piketty's analysis. These elements include the importance of considering class and labor dynamics, the recent rise of finance capitalism, insights from feminism, demography, and conflict studies, the Frankfurt School, the world market and the world-system, the rise of a transnational capitalist class, the coming environmental catastrophe, and others. The collection seeks to fully understand and suggest action to address today's capitalist inequality crisis.</p><p>Contributors are: Robert J. Antonio, J.I.
