Für einen ökologischen Sozialismus by Thomas Piketty

The cover of Für einen ökologischen Sozialismus by Thomas Piketty

How should we deal with global challenges like the climate crisis, massive inequality and a rise of fascism and war? In this collection of essays, Piketty looks at these topics and tries to provide a way forward. He writes about the social democratic revolution in Europe in the 20th century, explains why we neeed a re-distribution of wealth to tackle the climate crisis and supports the proposal of a Parlamentary European Union (PEU), among many other topics.

This book opens your eyes to the, albeit widely known, huge inequality between the rich and everyone else and the danger and the political failure to address it.

You’ll probably get angry while reading this. You should still read it.
