![]() ![]() ![]() Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system. ![]() In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. ![]()

![]() Narrated by Mycroft Canner, servant to all seven hives and certified madman, the Terra Ignota books take place over just a few frenetic days. Book three follows the world powers through a series of strained negotiations, shepherded by this new hero, and as disaster strikes at the end of the third book, The Will to Battle, it seems that war has finally arrived. After an assassination attempt tips the world closer to danger, Bridger, a young boy with miraculous powers, makes the ultimate sacrifice to give the world a war hero to guide it through the time ahead. In book two, Seven Surrenders, the dangers of war for a gentle world full of medical nanotechnology and bioengineered luxuries is fully revealed. At the end of the first book, Too Like the Lightning, a conspiracy comes to light that threatens to topple the entire structure. ![]() The narrative is the story of these stewards, the leaders of each government, or hive, who operate outside the awareness of the average citizen.

A New Yorker staff writer since 1996, he visits obscure laboratories and infomercial set kitchens as often as the hangouts of freelance cool-hunters - a sort of pop-R&D gumshoe - and for that has become a star lecturer and bestselling author.
