Peel posted:Piketty is a social-fascist CIA psyop, the title of his masquerading 'book' should be spelled with three Ks. I did want to ask about Piketty and his Capital. I haven't had a chance to read it (god knows I haven't taken a stab at reading Kapital since high school) but if heard that his book pretty much reaffirms a lot of what Marx writes in Kapital accept he refuses to accept Marx's solution and instead advocates for an even more unrealistic global wealth tax. How true is this comparison?

Electric Owl posted:There is simply no comparing Piketty to Marx. Marx uses rigorous dialectical and historical analysis to develop a well-reasoned and radical understanding of capitalist economy as it has occured, while Piketty and other "neo"-classicists come up with increasingly arabesque and arcane maths that consistently fail to pass the reality-check litmus test and, with stunning regularity, favor the status quo and dominance of the ruling class. There is no reconciling the works of either of them. Thank you, that clears it up. I should have realized it was something like that from all the positive press the book for.

Yeah I remeremember most of the discussions of the book were about his comically ineffectual solutions to the problems generated by capitalism. So at least I know now not to bother with picking up his book.
