Watch the Netflix documentary. Basically cuts to the chase.

  Please don’t watch entertainment (Netflix documentary) as a substitute for a book and think they are equivalent.

    A documentary is more accessible to people and one can come away with the core the arguments

      IMO understanding the arguments is useless without understanding how they were built, and what their caveats and assumptions are. Otherwise you end up parroting talking points without actually having thought about it. I’d rather people not hold an opinion on something than hold an unfounded one. A doc is not a good format for grounded understanding.

        Nonsense. There are level of abstractions in all walks of life. You mustn’t be a trained economist to understand the points Piketty is making. > Otherwise you end up parroting talking points without actually having thought about it. That is quite a leap and a lot of assumptions baked in.
