Thomas Piketty is a prolific French socialist economist. With insatiable appetite for the issue of economic performance status, he has and will have significant audience. Books about pension regime, taxes, inequality, economic and social justice, origins and future of mankind etc. sell well. Well it will sell his best-seller, Capital in the 21st Century. And it will sell, because those he addressees are not few, and Piketty is saying what they want to hear; with talent. A lamentation about a world perpetually unequal and, hence, a messianic project for a future of fully brotherhood and equality between individuals cannot go by unheard. I read the book for various reasons, both personal and impersonal, further revealed in this paper.
