Imagine if all this time dedicated to basketball was allocated to Piketty's new book

4. I've just started reading it

and, while it's relatively easy reading for an economics book, it will take me time to go through 700 pages of it.

I think it's likely to take over the economics debate from the Austrians and the Randorrhoids and the other apologists for the already rich simply because it's readable, packed with facts, and comes to the irrefutable conclusion that none of the rich men's programs have ever worked, are not working and will never work because the inexorable outcome to all of them is concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands while most of humanity is in the misery of privation.

Since those are the conditions that lead to revolution and a lot of rich guys getting their heads chopped off or lined up against a wall and shot, you'd think rich guys, too, would take it to heart.

That's what remains to be seen.
