Capital and Ideology represents a significant further statement from Thomas Piketty. The arguments made by the "New Piketty" are largely compatible with those of his previous Capital in the Twenty-First Century, but reflect broadening of scope and deepening of causal analysis, most markedly through the adoption of a world historical perspective. The result is a fuller offering for understanding inequality's pattern in the world, why it exists and how we can best respond to it. The book presents a wide range of arguments, which do not on first glance appear unified. This review essay distills these into six propositions, describes and evaluates each in turn, and identifies some threads that link them. In the process, it provides a critical assessment of Capital and Ideology.
《资本与思想》是托马斯·皮凯蒂的又一重要论著。“新皮凯蒂”的观点在很大程度上与他之前的《二十一世纪资本论》中的观点一致，但反映了范围的扩大和因果分析的深化，最显著的是通过采用世界历史的视角。其结果是对理解世界不平等模式、为什么存在不平等以及我们如何最好地应对不平等提供了更全面的认识。这本书提出了广泛的论点，乍一看似乎并不统一。这篇评论文章将这些论点提炼成六个命题，依次对每个命题进行描述和评估，并确定了一些将它们联系起来的线索。在这个过程中，对《资本与思想》进行了批判性评估。
