Selected praise for Pocket Piketty "An ideal companion to Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century, and who better to write it than Jesper Roine, a highly recognized economist and specialist of long-run inequality. For students and those in need of easier access to Piketty's work, Roine lays out the story in clear terms while providing very useful historical and economic background." --David Stasavage, Chair and Professor of Politics, New York University; author, Taxing the Rich: A History of Fiscal Fairness in the United States and Europe "Jesper Roine has written a superb summary of the most talked-about economics book of the 21st century. Jesper's sharp analytical mind, deep social interest and his own respected research in the field make him the ideal author of a book like this." --Magnus Henrekson, Professor and managing director of The Research Institute of Industrial Economics "A very readable summary of Piketty's important book, written by a leading expert on inequality data." --Per Krusell, Professor of Economics, Stockholm University; chair, Nobel Prize committee, Prize for Economic Sciences
