Much Ado About Capital in the 21rst Century

I'm not sure what got me interested in the inequality issue. I guess it was all the excitement generated by Thomas Piquetty's book, Capital in the 21rst Century.  How could an economics book, a tome of more than 500 pages, hit number one on the NYTimes Best Seller List?  I just read yesterday where the publisher expects to sell 200,000 more copies.  By April, 2014, the Harvard University Press had sold 80,000 copies.  The majority of reviewers on Amazon said the book was eminently readable.  So, I took a chance and bought it.

Robert Reich Is An Eisenhower Fan

Last night, I inadvertently bought Robert Reich's "Work of Nations: Preparing Us for the 21rst Century Capitalis."  I read through the sample and before I knew it I was reading the actual book.  I decided to keep it even though it was written in the nineties.  I've also decided to make Robert Reich my guru.  I've already read three of his books:
                     Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future

                     Beyond Outrage: Expanded Edition: What has gone                          wrong with our economy and  our democracy, and                            how to fix it

                     Beyond  Outrage: What has gone wrong with our                              economy and our democracy and how to fix them
and now:
                     Work of Nations: Preparing Us for the 21rst Century                        Capitalis
