Stiglitz, Columbia UniversityReviewsThis splendid book validates Thomas Piketty's Capital precisely through its lucid, comprehensive and in places devastating critique of his capital theory and empirical methods, with rich detail on France, Germany, Sweden, the UK and the US, as well as Japan, Africa and India. As companion reading or on its own, Contradictions is a landmark, a model of scholarly engagement at the highest level. -- James K. Galbraith, author of Inequality: What Everyone Needs to Know and Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin This excellent volume effectively exploits and builds on 'the Piketty opportunity': the contested new terrain created by Thomas Piketty's challenge to mainstream economics and economic history. With their deep knowledge of the history of the study of inequality in various regions of the world and in the discipline of economics, the contributors engage critically with Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century to provide a plethora of new insights and important alternative policy proposals. This volume demonstrates why public policy-makers need to pay full attention to historians in grappling with the political trilemma of our age posed by Piketty: democracy, capitalism and inequality. -- Simon Szreter, Professor of History and Public Policy, University of Cambridge Author InformationPat Hudson is Emeritus Professor of Economic History at Cardiff University.
