  Abstract:  A few people have heard about Thomas Piketty till recently, but for now on, they will be more numerous; thanks to his new book Capital in the Twenty-First Century. The book brings into the public attention a very intriguing subject: wealth and inequality. In almost 600 pages, the author tries to track and explain the roots of inequalities. The novelty here is that the inequalities are analyzed not between the poor and the rich ones, but between the poor and the very rich ones, the so called “one percent”. The book is structured in 4 major parts, covering the issues of income, capital and above all the inequality.
