For the benefit of those who haven't tried to read Piketty, I highly encourage you to do so. I don't agree with all his proposed causes or solutions, but the data is very interesting. And I didn't find him unreadable at all, in fact highly enjoyable, if you're the kind of person who likes to read serious non-fiction.
Yeah. It's worth a go. Kudos to anyone who can get through it.
I read a fair bit of non-fiction but found that book terrible to read. It's not his fault. It's an academic book written in French that just happened to take off.
