Why Save the Bankers? And Other Essays on Our Economic and Political Crisis — Patrimonial Capitalism
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Why Save the Bankers? And Other Essays on Our Economic and Political Crisis by Thomas Piketty as a systems-level analysis of how wealth concentration persists through the structural relationship between capital returns, taxation regimes, and central banking architecture.
