- Title
Piketty Misreads Austen.
- Authors
RODRÍGUEZ BRAUN, CARLOS
- Abstract
The author focuses on economist Thomas Piketty, his book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," and how he drew from novelist Jane Austen to create a distorted view of the distribution of wealth in Great Britain. Topics include Austen's statement about the dynamic and mobile society of her time, philosopher and pioneer of political economy Adam Smith and his theory of conduct and economic growth, and Austen's balanced visions of inequality and wealth, and tribute to labor and responsibility.
