> Said another way, you can either believe 1) the pie can grow a lot (and so, e.g. we should encourage trillionaires and the creation of far more wealth), or 2) it can’t (and so, e.g., we should abolish billionaires and divide up everything we have now equally). What a naive and ridiculous false-dichotomy. This just takes as a premise that growth and ever-widening inequality are inextricably linked. Is this just a sly rhetorical trick or do these people actually believe what they write? I don't that he's so uncreative that he simply can't image any alternative possibilities. Or is being a beneficiary of the current system so blinding that it obscures any honest and critical thinking?
