Consensus economics would have you believe that, unlike in any video game, businesses experience diminishing marginal returns on investment.

  ...A fact which has only tenuous relevance to a small part of Piketty's argument. There are critiques of the work that make some reasonable points, but this is not how they start.

    This is a reasonable forum in which to discuss how well video games' economics align with the real world. I regret that it is a poor forum to discuss pop economics with a political agenda. If you would like resources which discuss and critique the various flaws of Piketty's work, I can refer you to the scholarly publications and the conferences associated with the American Economic Association, the Economic History Association, the Economic History Society, the Cliometrics Society, and like academic organizations, as starting points. In the meantime, I will continue to use this forum to discuss the realism of video games.

      While I appreciate your enthusiasm to share your worldview, not to mention the unintentionally hilarious attempt at throwing shade, I'll continue to enjoy my own conversations with whomever I please, and would encourage you to take part in whatever might make you happy.

        Dude, you’re in here throwing out Piketty to begin with while confusing basic concepts; I don’t think you’re the one who really gets to chide about funny attempts to inflict worldviews on people :P
