Capital in the Twenty-First Century

In 2013, French economist Thomas Piketty published his book Capital In The Twenty-First Century, which proposed solutions to wealth and income inequality in some of the richest nations in the world as a means to improve economic and social stability. Justin Pemberton's documentary, adapted from the international bestseller, travels from the French Revolution to the present day to challenge the assumption that accumulating wealth necessarily leads to social progress. The film shines a light on the today's growing inequalities and proposes courses of actions.
