Anyone who reads the newspaper, note that in the United States, "one percent", is a growing part of the economic wealth. But did you know that the highest percentile greater rate in South Africa was in the sixties, and about the same as it is in Colombia, another deeply divided society today? Is is generated in terms of income through work, the level of inequality in the United States is "probably more than any other company at any time in the past, each Thomas Piketty. - In New York Stock Exchange listing
I do not want a rich villa or a bank account. I do not want to pay for it with our schools and roads, and the post office. MaryM IL-Firedoglake
When I thought about the great influence of the work of Thomas Piketty, "Capital in the XXI century", I felt that here before, was so familiar, but I could not put my finger on what it was ...
Then came for me ... It's like when statistically proven that smoking causes cancer and hit surprisingly close to death, like the proverbial heavy smoker, John Wayne showed that only Oscar in 1979 ... this time, when the effects side of the inequality, the order is reversed: first, we are very pleased that the death and the next report statistics.
However, I find striking similarities: a huge industry of "public relations", I (fixed) Hollywood decades dedicated to not only convince millions of men, women and children from being unnecessary, expensive and totally harmful, is not harmful, it was "cool".
Finally, the statistical data associated with the vision of the legendary personalities of smoking to a radical change in public opinion to stop the millions of people in the first place, or do not start smoking and defeat has led caused strictly enforced legislation to the efforts of the giants of snuff, a group to oppose the most powerful lobby in the United States.
Today, almost as cool smoke miserably forced outside in winter to get squats "solution".
In combination with the raw emotion of the statistical evidence that public opinion has caused this massive movement.
Does this mean that by the ravages of the financial crisis and the results you will see Piketty unfortunate teacher old billionaires sidewalks America soon?
I will not hold my breath waiting.
What I see, I think, is a big conflict between tectonic sea Piketty public-power movement and the enormous power of one percent of damaging the political process, the shadow had every lobby I snuff 'never dreamed of.
