woolybanana Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The problem, Norman is that the market is not free not ever has it been.And the equation France v US is seriously dated as it does not take into account either the growth of the MIddle East or China and other Asian countries.The French are trumpeting Picketty because they want to justify their own failed model of Statism.This is not to say he is not worthy of attention.Still, one up the Jacksy for Marx, eh!
