"In the abstract, given the facts about who is to blame, it would not be illogical for the United States to compensate the rest of the world for the damage it has done to global well-being, which is potentially considerable (bearing in mind that global warming may eventually lead to a loss of 5–20 percent of global GDP, if not more). In practice, it is quite unlikely that the United States would spontaneously undertake to do this."
-- #ThomasPiketty "Capital and Ideology"
@GNUmatic @flyhigh The last Study by #ThomasPiketty is partially covered in his book #CapitalInTheTwentyFirstCentury. It's an excellent book and even a better #AudioBook. It tells the stories and histories of people and how they were/are effected by the changes in Capital across history.

> His move from being a discontented young Republican to MAGA chieftaink..[shows] a trend that #ThomasPiketty captures in hard numbers in his book #CapitalAndIdeology.. both the highly paid and wealthy “merchant right” traditionally represented in the Republican Party and the highly educated and economically well compensated “Brahmin left” that affiliated with the Democratic Party are seen from below as one “elite” with interests radically different from theirs. #uspol

Neues linkes Wirtschaftsmagazin @surplusmagazin u.a. mit #MauriceHöfgen und #ThomasPiketty Viel Erfolg! Schon mal spannend rein in die Kontroverse: Fünf ökonomische Gründe gegen den #Bitcoin https://www.surplusmagazin.de/5-okonomische-grunde-gegen-den-bitcoin/
"Based on #ThomasPiketty's No. 1 NYTimes bestseller, Capital in the Twenty-First Century explores one of the most important and controversial subjects of our time: wealth, and who gets a share of the dividends."
Perhaps most telling of our times: this documentary is unavailable for viewing by non-subscribers without coin to spare; your library card might work. Fortunately, for the moment, bittorrent is still egalitarian.
