Steven Pressman — Live-blogging Piketty: Review of Reviews, Pt. 2

My first stab at examining the reviews of Piketty took cuts at those who failed to read the book but felt they had the right to express an opinion about it. Today I look at positive reviews of Capital in the Twenty-First Century.

Live-blogging Piketty: Review of Reviews, Pt. 2
Steven Pressman | Professor of Economics and Finance at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ
Milanovic has written a lengthy and brilliant review of Piketty that will appear in the June 2014 issue of the Journal of Economic Literature, one of the premier journals in economics. It is published by the American Economic Association, and it publishes literature surveys and long reviews of books that the editors regard as especially important. For those unable to wait until June, and for those who do not subscribe to the Journal of Economic Literature, an early draft of this review is available here.
