Let's call it a contributing factor and make the headline less insane.

  Yes, please stop publishing these ridiculous headlines that seem to be used just to incite political arguments for clicks and ad revenue.

    Where did this headline even come from? The original headline is "Le tout-sécuritaire ne suffira pas" which they translated as "Clamping down with law and order will not be enough" (which looks like a good translation to me). The linked Washington Post article is titled "This might be the most controversial theory for what’s behind the rise of ISIS." Yet on HN it's called, "Thomas Piketty: Income inequality is behind the rise of Islamic State." Was something changed, or did the person who posted this decide to make up something that would incite controversy?

  Agree, it really distracts from his point when Piketty deliberately ignores the other obvious factors (religoius extremism, tribalism, power vacuums, etc) and fails to integrate it into the quagmire everyone is aware of.
