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

if he didn't do that then no one would take him seriously. not understanding Marxism, and dismissing it out of hand as a "failed system" is the default stance you have to take in academia. i have never seen anyone critique Marx without talking in absurd generalities that betray their lack of knowledge

i mean i wouldn't really pay any attention to that because the vast majority of economists are autistic manchildren who get all huffy that the world doesnt conform to their tismal econ mathematical models inspired by bird flock dynamics and the tidal patterns off the coast of hawaii.

economists are basically the modern form of the keepers of the sibylline prophecies

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.

i havn't seen an bands of Pikettist revolutionaries storming state capitols, and redefining the agenda for the 21st century
