What are the criticisms of Capital by Piketty?
Shoddy remake that doesnt' capture the spirit of the original.
/lit/ - Literature
>If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/.
Too difficult for Americans to understand.

which part of this text uses the syntactic matrix of the written language to conjugate meanings, as in literature?
what you've got there m8 is a piece of technical writing
>>7674912
Literature means poetry and artistic prose. If you want to talk about economics you can already go to /his/, /pol/, /sci/ or /biz/

The book is very capitalist and named after the Marx book only to mock that difference.

piketty is a hack.
"Inequality is a bad thing. Look, inequality is getting worse. Here are some things that might reduce inequality."

Piketty methodologically is a neoclassical, so you got that, and he thinks a 1950s style welfare state is the ideal that should be strived for... but globalization happened meaning that just ain't gonna come back

Literal pop-Econ book
Same criticisms that apply to pop-history and pop-science apply

Piketty is 100% right.
Only Trump supporters would disagree with him.

I'm not reading all this but you're article is stupidly wrong on a lot of basic points
>Marx developed the idea that the reserve army of the unemployed would keep wages at subsistence level, making capitalism inconsistent with steady improvements in the living standards of worker
Average living standards can continue to rise, a reserve army of labour wouldn't stop that from happening. What Marx pointed out was that unemployment is a structural feature of capitalism, not some form of accident, necessary to keep the balance of power from tipping in favour of labour instead of capital. Full employment would result in declining profitability and higher wages which couldn't last causing unemployment. Marx never meant it would result in ABSOLUTE impoverishment but RELATIVE impoverishment.
