Gates, and Piketty, would benefit from considering the insights of the Austrian school of economics, instead of accepting then regurgitating Marx & Engels with a veneer of civilized discourse. Neither seems to have read a single page of Ludwig von Mises or Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. Piketty certainly quotes Marx ad nauseam. George Reisman has offered a thorough critique [1] of Piketty's arguments -- arguing across a range of topics, from David Ricardo's insights in the role and formation of capital to the meaning and value of inequality in both income and wealth.
