It's hard to rate a book like this. It starts off as a 2020 campaign memoir, then becomes an outline of the Bernie Sanders platform. Everything in it is true and important, five stars on content and urgency, but it's nothing I didn't already know and agree with, so not very interesting to actually read.

Review of 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I originally read this when it was new, but decided to reread in advance of reading some of Piketty's other books, as I remembered very little of it beyond r>g. It's a slow read, thanks to the mountain of data presented in it, but well worth the time to read. Easily one of the most important books of the last decade.
