My review of Piketty's new book: overcoming capitalism without overcoming globalism?
Dear all,
I've written a long review of Thomas Piketty's latest 1,000-page-long tome, Capital and Ideology. It's an interesting book, with some radical theses (few authors nowadays dare to openly challenge private property), which unfortunately is led astray by the author's globalist biases, which blind him to the fact that transnational democracy, let alone transnational socialism, is absolutely unworkable, even if it were necessary (which it isn't, as I argue).
Best regards,
