Thomas Piketty

Aujourd'hui on discute de ce qui a amené Ian à se politiser avant de parler à nouveau du travail de Vincent sur la vision des inégalités sociales de Thomas Piketty et Emmanuel Saez qui a eu de l'écho en France, ainsi qu'aux États-Unis avec un article à paraître dans le WSJ et peut-être même un passage au Congrès ! Partie bonus où on parle de l'histoire qui a fait pas mal jaser sur la nageuse transgenre...

When it comes to the enormous reduction of income inequality during the 20th century, Thomas Piketty sees politics everywhere. In his new book, A Brief History of Equality, he argues the rising equality during the 19th and 20th centuries has its roots not in deterministic economic forces but in the movements to end aristocratic and colonial societies starting at the end of the 18th century. Drawing this line forward, Piketty also contends we must rectify past injustices before attempting to...

Clima, il nuovo libro di Greta Thunberg con Piketty e Atwood "Racconta la crisi ecologica in modo olistico", uscirà a ottobre (Milano). "Tutte le storie di questo libro sono inquietanti prese singolarmente, ma sono anche collegate strettamente come tutti noi. E quando inizi a connetterle tra loro e a comprenderle come parte di una rete di eventi, acquisiscono un altro significato molto più allarmante". Così Greta Thunberg presenta in un video...

So war is back in Europe, in its most brutal form. A country with 45 million inhabitants is being invaded by its neighbour with three times the population and eight times the weapons. Looking at it from a distance, one might be tempted to compare the situation to the border wars which opposed France and Germany three times between 1870 and 1945.
