*Jean-Philippe Delsol, Nicolas Lecaussin and Emmanuel Martin brought together several authors, both French and foreign, to fuel the debate around the book Le Capital au XXIe siècle by economist Thomas Piketty.



*The book was a great editorial success, particularly among supporters of the welfare state. However, economists are not unanimous about his law of returns on capital greater than growth (r > g), a phenomenon that, according to Piketty, generates an increase in inequality, and his strategy of high taxation of the highest incomes to remedy it. Anti-Piketty. Vive le Capital au XXIe siècle ! proposes to expose the limits, insufficiencies, and dangers of Thomas Piketty's thinking. It also formulates liberal-inspired alternatives to fight against inequality and poverty.
