The Piketty Panic

"...what’s really new about “Capital” is the way it demolishes that most cherished of conservative myths, the insistence that we’re living in a meritocracy in which great wealth is earned and deserved."


One may attempt to debate facts, such as economic policies and outcomes, but that doesn't stop the right from trying to slant them. With big chunks of money. Even more so now, thanks to the Roberts court.
