Talkin About the Issues

Thomas Piketty is talking about the issue of inequality in a book, Capital in the 21st Century.  Apparently it is popular, and there have been many articles written about it.

I wonder why this one has gotten so popular, and I wonder if it will help to change the dominant point of view that inequality is ok because the rising tide of capitalism raises all boats.  Definitely adding this one to my (imaginary) summer reading list.
