Or, at minimum, someone using his nom de blog is still posting at Le blog de Thomas Piketty.
(and in English)
I was thinking about Piketty because a friend sent me this from Philanthropy Daily, June 29:
Progressive intellectuals and activists are foremost among those who have put philanthropy on the defensive of late. And Tomas Piketty is one of the world’s foremost progressive academic economists.
Piketty is a professor at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris and has affiliations at several other prestigious academic institutions around the globe. Among his books, 2013’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century in particular restructured the public discourse about political economy and inequality.
His work has been and remains greatly influential.
Piketty’s new book A Brief History of Equality further explores the origins of wealth disparity and offers various specific policy proposals that he believes would mitigate it, including an annual wealth tax that would make “it possible to levy receipts far more substantial than those of the inheritance tax, and to improve redistribution in proportion to each individual’s ability to contribute.”....
