[Peace] Piketty reading group - Wednesday 8 July, 6pm

[C. G. Estabrook]

Tonight’s meeting of the AWARE group reading “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” will consider Part Three: "The Structure of Inequality” through Chapter 10 "Inequality of Capital Ownership.” Less abstract and more historical than it sounds, the chapter is quite readable.

Also, the author, Thomas Piketty, has been outspoken this week on the Greek crisis, e.g.,

There is a summary of the book at <http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/Piketty2014Capital21c.pdf <http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/Piketty2014Capital21c.pdf>> (h/t D. Green).

Members and friends of AWARE are invited to participate in the discussion on Wednesday 8 July at 5 Litchfield Lane in Champaign (regardless of whether they’ve read the text).  —CGE
