Equality Is a Struggle
Bulletins from the Front Line, 2021-2025
«“Piketty has made a distinguished career of explicating the whys and wherefores of inequality. . . . His outlook for a social democratic future is lucid and refreshingly optimistic.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Piketty gives us fresh eyes with which to look at politics and economics in the UK, Europe and the US. Essential reading.”—Sophie Charara, Shortlist
“In this compelling book, Piketty advocates for ecological socialism. His vision is ambitious but realistic, being based on a majestic understanding of the history of capitalism and detailed pragmatic knowledge of anti-inequality policies.”—Ha-Joon Chang, author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism
“A powerful case for rethinking capitalism through the lens of sustainability and inclusion. A valuable read for anyone—of all political viewpoints—interested in systemic solutions grounded in data and evidence.”—Alex Edmans, author of Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit
“Equality Is a Struggle captures the relationship between equity and the design of our political economic system. Nothing is inevitable.”—Mariana Mazzucato, author of Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism

In this new volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, renowned economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty’s vivid first draft of history—on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond. Despite the gathering clouds, Piketty continues to find reasons for hope.
