piketty dismisses marxism out of hand and then later admits he has not read any marx and doesnt actually really understand what marxism or materialist analyses are. gently caress that busta

honestly marx himself isn't that important for modern left wing economics unless you're really in to orthodox materialism and poo poo, which is dumb

I watched Wall Street by Oliver Stone and it convinced me capitalism is very good. Gordon Gekko made a lot of money which is a cool thing.

Frog Act posted:honestly marx himself isn't that important for modern left wing economics unless you're really in to orthodox materialism and poo poo, which is dumb Leaving economics aside entirely, Marx's capital (vol 2 in particular) is still extremely relevant as a critique of the forces and pressures inherent to the capitalist mode of production and circulation which lead to hugely destructive and myopic business practices. You could even strip out the theory of surplus value entirely and still be left with an utterly damning critique of the results of coercive competition and furthermore im extremely gay

It's revealing that the "he hasn't read Marx!" complaint has nothing to do with the actual quality of Piketty's actual work. Apparently, Piketty has been able to do quite, quite well without having read Marx.

It is pretty accessible but he almost dumbs it down too much. Like half the book is just restating points he made earlier.

What's the point of reading these books unless you're involved with the economy? I work in retail and I generally don't seek out comprehensive texts on heart surgery.
