Reading the whole thing is more in the entertainment realm. He advises some things that aren't acceptable in the US like government control of CEO salaries, but also some things that aren't acceptable anywhere, like confiscatory taxes. I.e. he states that there wouldn't be government benefit to taxing the super rich so heavily they are no longer rich because there are too few of them to contribute meaningfully to large state projects, but he still states they should have confiscatory (his term) taxes applied to them just to remove their wealth so that there is less income inequality.
When people talk about the book or summarize they often stick to the more factual stuff, like the fact that income equality is real and growing, but they often skip over the other parts that no one would actually agree with like the above.
