Why Save the Bankers?

In "Why Save the Bankers?", Thomas Piketty offers incisive commentary on the financial crisis and its aftermath, drawing from his monthly newspaper columns written between the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse and the 2015 Paris attacks. Through a critical examination of events like the European sovereign debt crisis and insights on oligarchy and inequality, Piketty explores the urgent need for meaningful regulation in capitalist economies. Merging wit with deep economic analysis, these essays reveal the underlying forces shaping recent history from the perspective of one of contemporary economics' leading thinkers.
