1. Hmmm...

Appreciate short version!

I will probably have to buy this book, as the data will be useful.

4. Taken directly from his book, here is a link to the online database that he put together

It doesn't have all of the charts that he has in the book, but this website spits out charts from data compiled by Picketty and his colleagues regarding wealth distribution in many countries and how it has evolved over the years.

By the way, the book goes into excruciating detail and is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I thoroughly recommend it.

5. Very useful link.

Now, excruciating and enjoyable?

Somehow, that sounds so French!

6. Thanks for this

I would also RECOMMEND people buy this book if they can afford it.

University press books, even highly regarded ones, do not stay in print as long as commercial publishers - and, in either case, books along these kinds of subjects go out of print faster than fiction, etc.

Luckily I bought a copy of After the Empire, by Todd, when it was selling well. No longer in print.

Thanks for the link!
