### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good introduction to the arguments against the idea we live in an era of squalid poverty
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2019*

A good introduction to the arguments against the idea that we are living in a horrid time where the rich have everything and everyone else is living in squalid sewage.  While the rich have gotten richer, the poor and the middle classes have gotten richer too, just not as quickly.  My life, as an American, is literally more comfortable and easier and better in just my short life from the 1980s to the 2010s.  Those scholars, pundits, and demagogues who focus only on the growth of assets for the top 1 or 10 percent in that time are focusing on the wrong thing.  The book serves as an appetizer for arguments against Thomas Pinketty's error-ridden and misguided <i>Capital in the Twenty-First Century</i>.  A good start and some leads for further readings (though a dedicated "Suggested Readings" section would have been nice).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An excellent review
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2014*

Put this at the top of your "Piketty Reviews" list, if as I do you find the reviews (good and bad, "Chicago" or "Austrian", or anywhere else on the politico-economic spectrum) much more informative - and for the most part more readable- than "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" it self.  Pierson thoughtfully points out flaws in Piketty's selections of data from the recent and more distant past, and presents similarities and differences between Piketty and famous economists of history- and he does it in 46 clearly written and easily comprehended pages.  In  my biased assessment, this is exceeded in value only by Deidre McCloskey's review of the same book, which is more erudite and scholarly and hence (for some) a bit less digestible.  As the title suggests, the author is not sympathetic with the current "Income Inequality" political meme/fad that promises to be in the forefront of the upcoming 2016 US election, so be warned!  Many other reviews of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" blithely accept that it "proves" Income Inequality as a real and appropriate target for political rhetoric and action.  Pierson demurs - convincingly!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Ok, but should focus on misused data
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2015*

Doesn't go into depth on the problems - gaming of - the data that are used by people pushing the inequality hoax.  For example, using pre-tax and pre-transfer income data. All the kind of garbage that  Picketty and his ilk do to prove their anti-market economy bias
