Why?

  Because it would have been an invitation to debate with facts that are hard to disagree with. His solutions on the other hand are easily pulled apart and so that is what many discussions end up focusing on. This is unfortunate.

    The solutions that anybody brings in favor of so called Free Market Capitalism or any other form of libertarian market ideology is also easily pulled apart. I don't disagree with you but academics are expected to give a solution, no matter how stupid it may sound to you. IMO, I think he would be taken less seriously if he didn't give a solution. Every single interview and every single talk would literally be the same thing, "What is your solution then?" and all he says is "I don't know".

      I am not proposing free market capitalism in fact I am not proposing anything. Systems as complex as the ones we talk about here evolve they can't be created and any decision we make have consequences. I fundamentally believe the issue of inequality to be an issue of technology and therefore also believe the solution to be a consequence of technology.
