About book Il Capitale Nel XXI Secolo (2014)

Really dense, really interesting, really important. Fascinating book about concentration of wealth being a naturally occurring phenomenon that does society no good. Maybe neutral maybe bad. The book is very repetitive but given the density of the material' that is a blessing not a curse. The only downside is that I listened to it on Audible and had to hit the back button often. It is no light read but it is well worth the effort. As I read the introduction, I really liked the way that the author organized the material, the qualifications he placed on statements, and the general tone of discourse.This seemed like an important topic to understand. But there was a nagging doubt that the material might get too detailed; time will tell.In chapters 1 and 2 that doubt became a reality.Topic sentences become the norm.Bailed. I'll wait for a summary.
