| 摘要 | In Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Piketty 2014) Thomas Piketty presents a compelling story of the ascendency of capital and the powerlessness of the market forces to arrest the growing threat to democracy from growing wealth – and its increasing concentration in the hands of the few. Piketty prescribes a global, coordinated wealth tax as the antidote to this dystopian trend, arguing that only such a direct assault on wealth concentration will succeed where the other policies of governments – that already play large roles – in their respective economies have failed. We take issue with Piketty’s facts, logic, and policy conclusions. The support for the view that there will be an inevitable rise in capital’s share is lacking. In addition, even if the world were as Piketty describes, a wealth tax finds little or no support either in Piketty’s own work or elsewhere in the literature.
