It’s crazy because I learned the world from this book and at the same time I knew it all. It’s my tale as old as time. The efforts of revisionist history/reframing the narrative are lost on me. 

But all you really have to take away (along with some intriguing math equations about our world that Piketty claims to be irrefutable) is that the guy argues for a progressive tax on capital and financial transparency. Fair enough. Oh, and we have essentially regressed back to the early 1900s in terms of inequality, so cool. Saved you a read didn’t I? (Didn’t iiiiii)
