Time for Socialism: Dispatches from a World on Fire, 2016-2021

This collection of articles by world-renowned economist Thomas Piketty offers a first draft of history, detailing the struggle against inequalities and tax evasion, in favor of a federalist Europe and a globalization more respectful of work and the environment.

With an extended introductory essay, Piketty argues that the time has come to support an inclusive and expansive conception of socialism as a counterweight against hypercapitalism.

Through his close observations on current events, Piketty captures the rise and fall of Trump, the drama of Brexit, Macron’s ascendance to the French presidency, and the unfolding of a global pandemic, always through the lens of Piketty’s fight for a more equitable world.

This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the events that have shaped our world and the fight for a better future.
