Capital and Ideology: a Graphic Novel Adaptation by Thomas Piketty

3.5

I’m a total mark for this latest wave of prestigious graphic novel adaptations and a total mark for any work exploring how we got to this current socioeconomic moment (i.e. WHEN THE CLOCK BROKE or THE HIDDEN GLOBE) so something truly catastrophic would have needed to happen for me not to have a grand old time with this book, and have a grand old time I did! Similarly to Ava Duvernay’s recent movie adaptation of CASTE, this graphic novelization of a nonfiction text utilizes a series of interconnected vignettes to highlight the key points and proposals behind Piketty’s work.
