Perfectly adequate summary of the argument, though it does leave me wanting more detail in order to support debate and so maybe needing the full text after all. However, I am not sure that I would want to pay for such summaries very often, since reviews are appearing which give the essential arguments clearly enough.

Good summary. Now it's time to read Piketty's book Capital in the 21st Century.

Make me want to check the full version to see how the author solve the utopia problem. The brief version makes it sound like “dream on, we won’t get there.”

Just to get an insight of the big debate (economics) and stir caused by Piketty. It sold me on getting hold of a copy of Piketty's book. Brief and too the point, an easy read that doesn't try to sell the reader anything. A good quick read that will outline the main argument made by Piketty and his team of researchers.
