I wouldn't be surprised at all if his message has the same long range impact as Herbert Croly's book did about 100 years ago. Look it up sport.

I can't explain everything to you Tom, but if enough influenfical people read stuff like this, it could matter. D-Bags like you don't need to read important works for history to move forward.

Tiberius Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thomas Piketty has taken America’s liberal establishment by storm. Piketty is a French economist who has written a lengthy (577 pages) study, “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” intended to provide a powerful intellectual justification for attacking the super-rich. Surprisingly, “Capital” hit No. 16 on the New York Times’ best-seller list for hardcover nonfiction books — a considerable feat for an academic treatise that, though clearly written, is no page-turner. Agree or disagree with his views, Piketty’s project represents a prodigious research achievement. With other economists, he has constructed statistics tracing the distribution of income and wealth for many major countries back to the 1800s. The most obvious conclusion from the data is common-sensical: Even relatively egalitarian societies have huge disparities in economic fortune. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/robert-j-samuelson-class-warfare-justified/2014/04/20/0fe43ae0-c730-11e3-8b9a-8e0977a24aeb_story.html Interesting review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 What does it take for "history to move forward"? Please explain what would keep history from moving forward.

Tiberius Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Do you have an opinion on the book? Have you read the book? Have not read it, no. My opinion is that a wave is slowly building just like with the income tax amendment or freeing the slaves. I think most people see the immense amount of wealth controlled by the few is just not right when we have so many problems that can be solved with more resources. The Pope has expressed this point and I'd guess the sentiment will continue to grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
