Yes, good governance is better than bad governance. But problems of inequality -- and reduced social mobility, and the role of human labor vs capital -- are real, and require real solutions.
That said, Piketty's proposed solutions aren't currently practical. Did you see the recent estimate that 8% of global wealth is parked in tax havens?

Yes, the problem is large, and does involve good governance. I was only sharing one proposed solution. The sad fact is, the best solution looks intractable. I'm open to suggestions.
