The article makes no mention of Piketty. It does however mention the "new Dark Ages of modern Feudalism" and that societies "are still living inside the 'Matrix' of this culture" which is naive hyperbole; my reference was to the article not Professor Hawking. However, being a skilled physicist means nothing about one's understanding of economics, and any physicist could tell you this. It is very dangerous to just take someone's extrapolations as truth because they are "smart".
- kolbe 11y agoI'd say it's significantly more reliable to assume Hawking knows more than an anonymous internet poster who throws insults around and pretends they're arguments. All I'm saying is that if you want to go toe to toe with a brilliant and respected man, come to the fight with some real arguments.
