The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system.
Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.
Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity.
Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new “participatory” socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality.
Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality—the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth—today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again.
A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

繼《西洋經濟史的趣味》之後，賴建成教授2010年推出《經濟史的趣味》，延續一慣知性，輕鬆，好讀，有趣的風格，延伸出「中國經濟史」的部份，讓讀者能更全面的理解、參照、進入和人類生活習習相關的經濟世界。是難得一見的推廣型的著作。本書所挑選的文章，大都輕鬆有趣，從全世界成千上萬位經濟史學者努力的成果中，找出適合大眾閱讀的幾篇。分為上部《西洋經濟史的趣味》及下部《中國經濟史的趣味》共66篇文章。

《大败局Ⅱ》所记录的败局均发生在2000年到2007年之间，将它们与《大败局》中的失败案例合在一起来阅读，你将可以看到过去10年里发生在中国商业界的众多兴衰往事。出现在本书中的企业家，都是他们那一代人中的不世豪杰。跟《大败局》中的众多草莽人物相比，一个让人印象深刻的区别是，他们中的不少人拥有令人羡慕的高学历，他们中有教授（宋如华）、发明家（顾雏军）、博士（仰融）、军医（赵新先）、作家（吕梁）以及哈佛商学院总裁班学员（孙宏斌）等等。他们也并非对风险毫不在意，如托普的宋如华在创业之初就曾经专门拜访落难中的牟其中和史玉柱，向他们当面讨教失败教训。甚至在公司规范化经营及战略设计上，这些公司也与当年《大败局》中的企业不可同日而语。华晨、德隆、三九及健力宝等公司都曾经重金聘请全球最优秀的咨询公司为其服务，德隆的唐万新甚至还有一个拥有150名研究员的战略研究部门。
在《大败局Ⅱ》中，我们更多地看到了一种“工程师+赌徒”的商业人格模式。他们往往有较好的专业素养，在某些领域有超人的直觉和运营天赋，同时更有着不可遏制的豪情赌性，敢于在机遇降临的那一刻，倾命一搏。
这是企业家职业中最惊心动魄的一跳，成者上天堂，败者落地狱，其微妙控制完全取决于天时、地利与人和等因素。

上卷记载1978-1992年间的企业变革。
《激荡三十年》的作者没有用传统的教科书或历史书的方式来写作这部作品，而是站在民间的角度，以真切而激扬的写作手法描绘了中国企业在改革开放年代走向市场、走向世界的成长、发展之路。改革开放初期汹涌的商品大潮；国营企业、民营企业、外资企业，这三种力量此消彼长、互相博弈的曲折发展；整个社会的躁动和不安……整部书稿中都体现得极为真切和实在。作者用激扬的文字再现出人们在历史创造中的激情、喜悦、呐喊、苦恼和悲愤。
尽管任何一段历史都有它不可替代的独特性，可是，1978年—2008年的中国，却是最不可能重复的。在一个拥有13亿人口的大国里，僵化的计划经济体制日渐瓦解了，一群小人物把中国变成了一个巨大的试验场，它在众目睽睽之下，以不可逆转的姿态向商业社会转轨。
