Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Piketty

Sollte man Milliardäre stärker besteuern? Oder sollte man sie am besten gleich abschaffen? In Deutschland fordert die Partei Die Linke seit Februar 2025 die Halbierung der Milliardärsvermögen binnen zehn Jahren.Hinter all diesen Vorschlägen steht der französische Ökonom Thomas Piketty. Mit seiner Formel „r (die Rendite auf dem Kapital) ist größer als g (das Wachstum der Wirtschaft)" lieferte er 2014 die theoretische Grundlage. Sein Schüler Gabriel Zucman, derzeit prominentester Steuerökonom der Welt, hat daraus den G20-Vorschlag einer globalen Mindeststeuer von zwei Prozent destilliert. Und vor zwei Wochen hat das von Piketty als Co-Direktor mitgeleitete World Inequality Lab in Paris den Global Justice Report 2026 vorgestellt, in dem es eine globale Vermögenssteuer von bis zu 20 Prozent/Jahr, eine Spitzeneinkommensteuer von 90 Prozent und einen Welt-Justice-Fonds in Höhe von 10,3 Prozent des globalen BIP vorschlägt. Was davon zu halten ist bespricht Daniel Stelter mit einem Mann, der jahrelang an Pikettys Seite forschte und dennoch zum gegenteiligen Befund gelangte: Daniel Waldenström, Professor am Institut für Industrieökonomie Stockholm und ein weltweit führender Empiriker zur historischen Vermögensverteilung. Sein Befund: Die Vermögensangleichung des 20. Jahrhunderts kam nicht durch Kriege oder Steuern, sondern durch den Aufstieg der Mittelschicht. „Lifting the bottom" statt „taking down the rich".

A new Global Justice Report associated with Thomas Piketty urges near-zero growth for rich countries, sweeping redistribution, global wealth taxes, shorter working hours, and rapid decarbonization. Cato's Ryan Bourne talks to Marian Tupy about what degrowth gets wrong—and why its promise of justice masks a dangerous agenda of government control. Hosted on Acast.

“Between 1980 and 2019, the billionaires gained $25 trillion. By today it's probably $35 trillion. The question is who will pay for reform? You go where the money is.” — Mordecai Kurz Keynes observed that in the long run, we are all dead. The nonagenarian Stanford economist Mordecai Kurz agrees. Which is why he has no patience for the tech utopians' promise of abundance for all of us in the long run. And his new book, Private Power and Democracy's Decline: How to Make Capitalism Support Democracy, is amongst the most urgent cases yet made for a fundamental reform of American capitalism. Kurz compares our billionaire-infested times with the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, which eventually ended with sharp progressive reform. We are now in a second Gilded Age, he argues. Between 1980 and 2019, the top billionaires gained $25 trillion. By today, he estimates it's $35 trillion. Meanwhile, workers without college education gained essentially nothing in income between 1980 and 2010. The result is both Trumpism and the world's first trillionaire. Kurz lays out a three-fronted reform strategy. First, reduce market power through patent and antitrust reform. Second, redistribute the gains from technology through a 65% top marginal income tax rate and a 45% corporate rate. Third, guarantee the livelihood of every worker displaced by policy-supported technological change with retraining, full wage support, tuition, healthcare, and even relocation. Wouldn't the billionaires simply leave? The spirited Kurz, who has taught economics at Stanford for sixty years, isn't worried. “Others will come instead of them,” he says. And in response to Sam Altman's argument that AI will free humanity from labour, Mordecai Kurz retorts with Keynes's remark about death in the long run. And this particular long run, he says, could be many millennia. Five Takeaways •       The Second Gilded Age: Same Dynamic, Different Technology: Kurz's central historical argument: the first Gilded Age — 1864 to 1914 — produced extreme inequality, rising economic monopolists who became centres of political power, and democratic decline. It ended with progressive reform. The second Gilded Age, beginning in 1980, follows the same logic: technology used as a weapon of market power, market power converting into political power, political power undermining democratic institutions. The difference is scale and speed. Between 1980 and 2019, the top billionaires accumulated $25 trillion. By 2026, Kurz estimates $35 trillion. The reform that ended the first Gilded Age took fifty years. He is not sure we have that long. •       The Three-Pronged Reform: Market Power, Distribution, Livelihoods: Kurz's proposed reform has three components. First: reduce market power through patent reform, antitrust reform, and reform of acquisition law — the legal structures that allow technology firms to entrench monopoly positions. Second: redistribute the gains from technology through a 65% top marginal income tax rate, a compulsory minimum 15% tax on incomes above $400,000, and a 45% corporate tax rate. Third: guarantee the livelihood of every worker displaced by policy-supported technological change — retraining, full wage support, tuition for children, healthcare, and relocation assistance. •       The 1980 Mistake: Where It All Went Wrong: Kurz is precise about the origin of the problem: 1980. The turn to unregulated free-market capitalism under Reagan, combined with the information technology revolution, created what he calls a techno-winner-takes-all economy. Workers without college education gained essentially nothing in income between 1980 and 2010. Millions lost their jobs to automation and import competition and received no government support. Kurz's diagnosis of Trumpism: it fed on the despair of those abandoned workers. This is not a cultural or demographic explanation. It is a structural economic one. •       Would the Billionaires Leave? Let Them: Andrew raises the obvious objection: if you tax them at 65%, won't the Elon Musks and Larry Pages and Sam Altmans simply leave? Kurz's response is blunt: he doesn't think they would, because the system called America — its universities, infrastructure, market, human capital, and institutional environment — is what made their billions possible. Their billions are not the product of their individual genius alone. But if they do leave, he says, others will come instead. He adds that he would prefer coordinated taxation across all Western advanced economies, not the US alone. •       In the Long Run, We Are All Dead: The Keynesian Punchline on Tech Utopianism: Andrew asks about Elon Musk's claim that money will eventually disappear and technology will free humanity from labour — the Keynesian/Marxist long-run abundance argument. Kurz paraphrases Keynes' most famous line: “In the long run, we are all dead.” And then he adds: the long run could be a very long time. He is ninety years old, has taught at Stanford since 1961, and from his office window he can see the $1 billion mansions in the hills above Palo Alto and the workers below who cannot afford to live there. He is, he says, not prepared to wait for Musk's utopia. About the Guest Mordecai Kurz is the Joan Kenney Professor of Economics Emeritus at Stanford University, where he has taught since 1961. He is the author of Private Power and Democracy's Decline: How to Make Capitalism Support Democracy (MIT Press, May 19, 2026) and The Market Power of Technology: Understanding the Second Gilded Age (Columbia University Press, 2023). He was born in Tel Aviv and received his doctorate from MIT. References: •       Private Power and Democracy's Decline: How to Make Capitalism Support Democracy by Mordecai Kurz (MIT Press, May 19, 2026). •       The Market Power of Technology: Understanding the Second Gilded Age by Mordecai Kurz (Columbia University Press, 2023) — the preceding volume, referenced throughout. •       Thomas Piketty — blurbed the book: “A great book, a must-read.” Also referenced in the conversation. •       Dani Rodrik and Gabriel Zucman — referenced as fellow economists in Kurz's camp. •       Marc Andreessen — referenced for his counter-argument that high taxation destroys innovation. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Will all the rich people leave if we slap a wealth tax on them? How have plans for a 5% billionaire tax in California gone down? Is tax the best way to redistribute wealth more fairly? Former tax lawyer Dan Neidle is back to tell us why he thinks the theories of influential economists Gabriel Zucman and Thomas Piketty are all pie in the sky. So what would he do instead?

Veronique de Rugy argues that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries, with the wealthy paying a disproportionate share of revenue. She critiques Thomas Piketty's proposal for a global wealth tax and mandated "degrowth," characterizing it as an effort to limit national growth under the guise of climate and social justice. (13)1904 PERSIA

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-12-2026.1903 PRINCETON UNIVERSITYJeff Bliss describes massive, deadly swells hitting California beaches due to a southern hemisphere storm system. The conversation shifts to Las Vegas, where a massive, highly anticipated In-N-Out Burger recently opened on the Strip. Bliss details the chain's reputation for fresh food, cleanliness, and fair employee wages. (1)Jeff Bliss discusses the surprising results of the Los Angeles City Council primary, where Nithya Raman surged despite initially conceding. He highlights allegations of voter fraud in the Skid Row area and the impact of California's ballot harvesting laws. The segment also touches on Xavier Becerra's lead in the governor's race. (2)Richard Epstein analyzes the legal effort to prevent the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Centerfacade. He argues that the Trump-aligned board's appeal lacks legal merit and strength, as removing a nameplate does not constitute irreparable harm. Epstein suggests the judge should consider firing the current board due to bias. (3)Richard Epstein critiques the construction of the Obama Center in Chicago, lamenting the destruction of 800 historical trees and the seizure of public land. He describes the project's design as a "monstrosity" with a flawed traffic plan and expresses concern over the foundation's lack of financial transparency and endowment. (4)Jim McTague reports on a "budget-minded hesitancy" among Pennsylvania consumers despite falling gas prices. He notes a rare layoff notice for 70 logistics workers and uneven retail activity. Meanwhile, a data center project near Costcoproceeds under heavy security, while a similar proposal was rejected by a neighboring borough. (5)Lorenzo Fiori discusses the "disaster" of the Italian national football team failing to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time. The segment transitions to Pisa, highlighting the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore and recent astronomical breakthroughs involving the James Webb Space Telescope. Fiori concludes with local wine and culinary recommendations. (6)Bob Zimmerman discusses the crew selection for NASA's Artemis 3 mission, which has been simplified to focus on Earth-orbit docking tests. He also examines private sector developments, including German startup Isar's funding, Stoke Space's reusable rocket design, and an orbital servicing mission by Catalyst intended to rescue a decaying NASAtelescope. (7)Bob Zimmerman honors the late Alan Hale, co-discoverer of the record-setting Comet Hale-Bopp. He reviews the historical significance of the first image of the moon's far side taken by Luna 3 in 1959. The segment also explores current cosmological debates regarding dark energy and the existence of "little red dots" in the early universe. (8)Peter Huessy discusses the history of "tactical" nuclear weapons and the 1950s Desert Rock exercises where U.S. troops were exposed to nuclear detonations. He details the health risks soldiers faced and parallels these actions with Sovietmaneuvers, highlighting the "ludicrous" idea of trying to operate militarily in a post-detonation environment. (9)Peter Huessy explains that Russia views low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons as usable battlefield tools to achieve victory or coerce opponents. He contrasts this with U.S. doctrine, which keeps such weapons under central command. Huessywarns of the lack of transparency regarding China's dual-use nuclear capabilities and Russia's "reckless" potential to use these weapons. (10)Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses stalled negotiations with Iran, noting the heavy influence of the Revolutionary Guard Corps over the diplomatic process. He analyzes the military difficulty of seizing Kharg Island and the profound impact of Ukrainian drones on the Russian front, suggesting that drone saturation has leveled the battlefield and interdicted Russian resupply lines. (11)Jeff McCausland draws parallels between the performative style of Civil War General Jeb Stuart and current Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. He critiques Hegseth's recent speeches in Singapore, Normandy, and Guantanamo, arguing they prioritize individual image over grand strategy and mark significant, potentially transactional shifts in long-standing U.S. foreign policy toward Taiwan and European allies. (12)Veronique de Rugy argues that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries, with the wealthy paying a disproportionate share of revenue. She critiques Thomas Piketty's proposal for a global wealth tax and mandated "degrowth," characterizing it as an effort to limit national growth under the guise of climate and social justice. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady questions the delay in scheduling Venezuelan elections under Delcy Rodriguez. She reports that over 400 political prisoners remain held, and the notorious Helicoide prison remains operational despite contradictory claims. O'Grady notes that the regime lacks the political will to allow a free press or fair electoral body to organize. (14)Conrad Black emphasizes the vital economic ties between the U.S. and Canada, noting Canada provides 25% of U.S.aluminum and 20% of its uranium. He expresses confidence that Prime Minister Mark Carney will build necessary oil pipelines to both coasts to benefit the Canadian economy, despite opposition from environmental groups and Carney's own "green instincts." (15)Francis Rose discusses the U.S. military's efforts to integrate AI by "gamifying" systems to make them intuitive for young, video-game-literate service members. He also highlights CISA's work in rebuilding its workforce to protect private-sector cyber infrastructure and the Army's Joint Innovation Outpost, which aims to accelerate the transition of technology from private inventors to the battlefield. (16)One name correction: (2) Nithia Raman → Nithya Raman (established style for the LA city council member).

Preview for Later Today: Veronique de Rugy examines Thomas Piketty's "degrowth" plan, which uses a global wealth tax to cap income. The proposal seeks to shrink manufacturing and leisure sectors to address global inequality and climate change.1807 TILSIT

Groot nieuws: Thomas Piketty kiest voor postgroei en toont in een baanbrekende nieuwe analyse hoe het jaar 2100 eruitziet als we voor postgroei kiezen. Hoe werken en leven we? Hoe ziet de economie eruit? Hoe staat het met het klimaat? Is het gelukt om armoede de wereld uit te helpen? In deze aflevering bespreken Paul en Allard de nieuwe perspectieven die Piketty ontsluit en waarom postgroei ook in deze analyse veel betere resultaten oplevert dan andere keuzes, zoals groene groei. Ook staan we stil bij het grote gewicht dat Piketty, als persoon en met zijn analyse, in de strijd werpt en wat dat betekent voor de postgroeibeweging. Kortom, een hoopvolle aflevering die je helpt om actie te (blijven) ondernemen!Bronvermelding: je vindt de studie van Piketty en zijn team hier. Hier vind je het artikel van Paul over industriebanen die verdwijnen door forse onderwaardering Chinese munt.

In this episode, François, Jennifer, and Çınla speak with Benoît Walraevens, Lecturer in Economics at the University of Caen Normandy, about his work on Adam Smith, John Rawls, and Thomas Piketty. 

“The billionaires' nightmare”, “Rockstar Economist”, or “far-left activist”, Professor Gabriel Zucman goes by many names.With Elon Musk on his way to reaching trillionaire status, public debt accelerating, and far-right parties threatening democratic institutions, a consensus is emerging that economic inequality is reaching excessive levels. The most important question now becomes not why, but how we tax the rich.Zucman is one of the world's foremost experts on economic inequality, tax havens and wealth taxation. Having picked up the torch from his colleague Thomas Piketty, he is increasingly the face of a French and global movement for taxation of the tax-avoiding ultra-wealthy and multinational corporations.

Venezuela, Groenland, Iran: de wereld is in de ban van Amerikaanse (gedreigde) militaire interventies. Maar: hoe nieuw is dit eigenlijk? Is het label "(neo-)imperialisme" nu wél of niet van toepassing? En: hoe ontwikkelt neo-imperialisme zich in de toekomst, in de nieuwe multipolaire wereldorde? Om deze vragen raak te beantwoorden duiken Paul en Allard de geschiedenis in. Aan de hand een duidelijke definitie van imperialistische praktijken behandelen ze historische en hedendaagse casussen. Zo helpen we je om (neo-)imperialistische praktijken te ontmaskeren, zonder deze praktijken te overdrijven of juist ernstig te onderschatten. Want als we imperialisme niet ontmaskeren, kunnen we het ook niet effectief bestrijden! Ook deze aflevering is een tour de force/tour d'horizon die je nieuwe inzichten en verdieping geeft.

En fin, querido Lunar principiante, "La Teoría General" no es solo un libro denso de los años 30: es la razón por la quehoy los gobiernos actúan en crisis en vez de cruzarse de brazos. Keynes, con su mente brillante y pragmática, nos enseñó que la economía es humana – con miedos, esperanzas y necesidad de intervención inteligente.

Rune Lykkeberg har i denne uge talt med den unge franske stjerneøkonom og forfatter Gabriel Zucman om argumenterne for og imod en formueskat for samfundets allerrigeste. --- Vi har i denne uge lavet lidt om på planerne. Vi har nemlig fået mulighed for at få et interview med en mand, der står i centrum som intellektuel i den danske valgkamp og i den globale diskussion om formueskat og fordeling af velstand og rigdom i verden. Det er den franske økonom Gabriel Zucman, som har skrevet bogen Milliardærer skal også betale skat, der blev et kæmpe brag, da den udkom i Frankrig i 2025, og som vi her på Dagbladet Information udgiver lige om lidt.  Gabriel Zucman er en del af den samme skole som Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, Julia Cagé, Esther Duflo. Han er en del af en gruppe franske økonomer, som har et empirisk forhold til kapitalismen og ser det som sin opgave at indsamle data og tal for udviklingen i velstand, rigdom, ulighed og vækst over tid.  Gabriel Zucman er 39 år gammel, men allerede ekstremt indflydelsesrig. Han har været med til at bringe spørgsmålet om formueskat ind i den amerikanske valgkamp og har leveret forslag, der er blevet samlet op af præsidentkandidat Elizabeth Warren. Han har også ændret den franske diskussion om formuer og rigdom og er kommet med rammen til den globale minimumsskat på 5 pct. på multinationale selskaber.  Zucman ved rigtig meget om formueskat, fordeling af rigdom og økonomisk retfærdighed. Han tror på, at det moralske og politiske argument kan flytte noget i verden, og at vi kan gøre det bedre. Og han ser os som en del af en fremskridtshistorie, selv om vi står i en periode med tilbageskridt. Vi er derfor enormt glade for, at vi er her under valgkampen, hvor debatten om Socialdemokraternes forslag til en formueskat i forvejen raser, kan trække på en af verdens førende eksperter til at forklare konteksten og svare på nogle af de stærkeste argumenter for og imod indførelsen af en formueskat. 

¿Es cierto que los ricos son cada vez más ricos? Analizamos los datos que demuestran que vivimos en una sociedad cada vez más igualitaria. ¿Es mala la desigualdad? Pues no está tan claro. Como decía un famoso economista, "nadie murió de desigualdad, pero mucho sí han muerto de pobreza". Sin embargo, a pesar de esta evidencia, durante las últimas tres décadas, el debate económico en Europa ha desplazado su foco de atención desde la lucha contra la pobreza hacia la denuncia de una supuesta desigualdad creciente. Este giro discursivo, alimentado por tesis como las de Thomas Piketty (en su famoso libro, El capital en el siglo XXI), sostiene que el capitalismo tiende de forma inevitable a concentrar la riqueza en unas pocas manos. Algo que es peligroso por la tensión social que se genera y porque daña el crecimiento a medio y largo plazo. El problema es que no es cierto. Es decir, no discutimos aquí si la desigualdad es buena o mala. O si tiene los efectos que asegura Piketty. Lo que decimos que no es cierto es que vivamos en una época de creciente desigualdad. En realidad, los datos históricos y las nuevas investigaciones académicas, como la del economista sueco Daniel Waldenström en su libro Más ricos y más iguales (Deusto), que acaba de publicarse en España, contradicen esta narrativa. Las sociedades actuales no solo son más ricas, sino también más igualitarias en casi cualquier variable que analicemos. De hecho, como nos explican Nuria Richart y Domingo Soriano en el episodio de esta semana de Economía Para Quedarte Sin Amigos, el análisis de las métricas de bienestar revela una convergencia sin precedentes entre las distintas clases sociales. Si se observan indicadores como la alfabetización, la esperanza de vida, el consumo o incluso la estatura media —estrechamente ligada a la nutrición—, las brechas que separaban a ricos y pobres hace un siglo se han reducido drásticamente. Mientras que en la Inglaterra de finales del siglo XIX la mortalidad infantil afectaba el doble a las familias humildes que a las pudientes, hoy esa diferencia es prácticamente nula. Esta igualación real en las condiciones de vida es el resultado de un proceso de creación de riqueza que ha permitido a las mayorías sociales acceder a estándares de consumo y salud antes reservados a una élite mínima.Música Esta semana, la protagonista de nuestra selección musical es Joe Crepúsculo.

Le 10 décembre 2025, le World inequality lab, co-dirigé par l'économiste Thomas Piketty, publiait son dernier rapport et le résultat est sans appel : les inégalités dans le monde ne cessent d'augmenter et ce sont les ultra-riches qui en profitent le plus. En France, les débats autour de la taxe Zucman sur la création d'un nouvel impôt plancher sur le patrimoine des grandes fortunes ont déchainé les passions. Et dans l'équipe de Deux pieds dans le bénitier, nous portons la conviction qu'on ne luttera pas contre la pauvreté sans s'attaquer à la concentration des richesses. Voilà donc trois bonnes raisons pour consacrer un épisode à la question des inégalités et la taxation des plus riches ! Pour nous éclairer sur ce sujet, Martin est allé rencontrer Alexandre Poidatz. Alexandre est responsable plaidoyer climat et inégalités d'une grande ONG internationale et membre du collectif chrétien Lutte et contemplation. Vous aimez Deux pieds dans le bénitier ?

Pour l'opposition et des économistes tels que Thomas Piketty et Joseph Stiglitz, l'ancienne loi était un rempart, même imparfait, contre la pauvreté.

In der neuen Speakeasy-Bar diskutieren wir zunächst über das Abstimmungsverhalten der Linken beim Rentenpaket. Interessanterweise hat die Partei nicht gegen das schwarz-rote Gesetz gestimmt, sondern sich enthalten, da man Verantwortung für Millionen Rentner übernehmen möchte, denen es ohne eine Einigung bald schlechter ergehen könnte. Aber ist das tatsächlich der einzige Grund? War es die richtige Strategie, diese Entscheidung schon drei Tage vor der Bundestagssitzung bekannt zu geben, sodass Merz doch noch eine Kanzlermehrheit organisieren konnte? Danach geht es um die Frage, wann Warnungen vor einem Rechtsruck übertrieben sind bzw. die Wirklichkeit verschleiern. Wir diskutieren ausführlich darüber, ob man die Binnenwirtschaft ankurbeln könnte und höhere Löhne die Exportnation wirklich bedrohen. Wir sprechen weiter über das Verhältnis von Liberalismus, Kapitalismus und Faschismus und beantworten eine Frage zur imperialen Lebensweise. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen „Wohlstand für Alle“-Speakeasy-Bar!Alle Fragen:00:20:30: Sind die Warnungen vor dem Rechtsruck übertrieben?00:30:52: Braucht es mehr Nudging in der Öffentlichkeit?00:35:00: Wie verändert die Gamification die Kriegsführung?00:43:23: Wie lassen sich die Begriffe Kapitalismus, Liberalismus und Neoliberalismus inhaltlich von einander abgrenzen?00:54:47: Wieso sprechen wir oft über den Ungleichheitsforscher Branko Milanović, aber selten über Thomas Piketty?01:03:23: Was sagen wir zu Markus Wissen und Ulrich Brand und ihrer Theorie der "imperialen Lebensweise"?01:16:05: Wie findet man seinen eigenen Zugang zur Literatur?01:22:42: Wieso will der Staat immer weiter an Sozialstandards und Löhnen kürzen?

It's easy to be pessimistic about inequality. We know it has increased dramatically in many parts of the world over the past two generations. No one has done more to reveal the problem than Thomas Piketty. Now, in this surprising and powerful new work, Piketty reminds us that the grand sweep of history gives us reasons to be optimistic. Over the centuries, he shows, we have been moving toward greater equality. In A Brief History of Equality (Harvard UP, 2022), Piketty guides us with elegance and concision through the great movements that have made the modern world for better and worse: the growth of capitalism, revolutions, imperialism, slavery, wars, and the building of the welfare state. It's a history of violence and social struggle, punctuated by regression and disaster. But through it all, Piketty shows, human societies have moved fitfully toward a more just distribution of income and assets, a reduction of racial and gender inequalities, and greater access to health care, education, and the rights of citizenship. Our rough march forward is political and ideological, an endless fight against injustice. To keep moving, Piketty argues, we need to learn and commit to what works, to institutional, legal, social, fiscal, and educational systems that can make equality a lasting reality. At the same time, we need to resist historical amnesia and the temptations of cultural separatism and intellectual compartmentalization. At stake is the quality of life for billions of people. We know we can do better, Piketty concludes. The past shows us how. The future is up to us. Javier Mejia is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Political Science Department at Stanford University.

Recently, Bethany and Luigi joined economist and wealth inequality expert Branko Milanovic in front of a live audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival to explore how capitalism, democracy, and income inequality interact. Together, the three discussed the pervasiveness of income inequality around the world, its connections with democracy and political stability, if the inequality that really matters is that between countries, and if capitalism and democracy aren't as intricately connected as we thought. As a scholar of China's economic system, Milanovic discussed how much of the country's success can even be attributed to capitalism. In the process, the three unpacked if capitalist societies, particularly in the West, are able to address the very inequality they have produced. Are there free-market mechanisms to correct for inequality or does there need to be government intervention? If income inequality poses a dire threat to democracy, what should capitalists do to preserve the institutions that enabled their wealth in the first place?Read a book review of Branko Milanovic's Visions of Inequality: From the French Revolution to the End of the Cold War and how his analysis of class and inequality applies to contemporary America, written by former ProMarket student editor Surya GowdaAlso mentioned: Revisit our episode with Thomas Piketty on creating a more equal society and with Martin Wolf: Is Capitalism Killing Democracy?Also revisit our episodes with Sen.

Londinium Chronicles Part 3 Audio Sept 28.mp3 HEADLINE: How to Move the Billionaires: War, Leveling, and the Failure of Reform SPEAKERS: Germanicus and Gaius 200 WORD SUMMARY: The speakers address the internal crisis within "Fortress America": the modern-day Palatine Hill, represented by the billionaires who are untouchable and above the law. Gaius cites economist Thomas Piketty, highlighting the "gigantic" wealth amassed by the super-rich. Germanicus asserts that the only guaranteed pathway to practical leveling—bringing the super-rich back down—is through war, whether external conflict or civil war. He explains that upheaval is necessary because the rate of return on investments consistently outpaces inflation, creating extraordinary wealth imbalance. World War II and the Great Depression were instruments of leveling in the US, creating the middle class and a more cohesive society. Today, US society is highly bifurcated, with the top 7-8% of the population holding 60% of the nation's wealth. Germanicus suggests that the populares committed to radical change are not the conventional "socialist" progressives (who are "parasites" of the state), but groups motivated by non-material goals. Both speakers emphatically agree that the problem of wealth inequality and the power of the Palatine will not be solved by reforms, calling reform a "misdirection." They conclude that maintaining the "status quo" means they are deeply "in trouble." 1790 SULLA'S PROSCRIPTIONS

French economist Thomas Piketty says a proposal for a 2% wealth tax at the center of France’s budget uproar is necessary but insufficient to address the country’s fiscal challenges.

Des lectures pour la pause estivale Pour cet épisode spécial pause estivale, trois personnalités recommandent un livre qui a compté pour eux, une lecture qui les a un jour bouleversés, retournés, démystifiés et qui pourrait aussi nous faire du bien avant de redémarrer une vie normale à la rentrée. Nabil Wakim est journaliste au Monde. Il produit l'excellent podcast Chaleur Humaine, consacré aux enjeux du réchauffement climatique et aux solutions qui s'offrent à nous. Pour élever le niveau et enfin tout piger à la taxe anti-charbon, aux moules de rivières et à Thomas Piketty. Né au Liban de parents arabophones, il est également l'auteur de L'Arabe pour tous et du film Mauvaise langue où il essaie de comprendre pourquoi les enfants d'immigrés issus de pays arabes ne parlent pas la langue de leurs parents. Christine van Geen est l'autrice de l'essai Allumeuse : genèse d'un mythe. On l'a entendue dans l'épisode de Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde « Le mythe de l'allumeuse ». Elle est également enseignante, agrégée de philosophie et fan inconditionnelle de Jane Austen.Marie Pavlenko écrit des romans et de la poésie. Dans l'épisode « Comment parler de l'effondrement avec nos enfants », elle revenait sur son roman Quand le désert disparaitra, une dystopie captivante où les arbres ont disparu de la planète. Pour cet été, elle nous conseille d'emporter un peu de poésie québécoise dans la valise.

Answer: Europe would be one of the poorer regions of the worldThomas Piketty, the world renowned economist and author of Capital in the 21st Century has produced a new study of the economic dynamics of 19th and 20th Century imperialism.
