Go out of your way to read Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century"

[hifiguy]

if you haven't already done so. One of the most important books of the last 25 years. Piketty is brilliant. A little dry, but eminently readable and the last section of the book is one of the most far-reaching proposals I have heard in decades.

Miss at your own risk.

4. I read it.......

Keynesian with a lot of stats. I guess that's what passes for "radical economics" now days.

5. Piketty never claims to be a radical, to be fair.

He seems to go out of his way to ground his proposed solutions in historical terms that are comprehensible to economists that aren't crazy reichwing shills. I think there is a lot of sense in his proposals.
