And indeed, the great depression and its aftermath had lessened inequality significantly, enabling such a defense of capitalism to have some semblance of validity. however, for that defense to be persuasive required two key facts to be forgotten or hidden. Thanks to piketty’s work it seems fairly clear that a spectacular degree of inequality is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. i’m sold on more progressive taxation and universal basic. Rapidly rising income and wealth inequality in the united states and other western countries has been commonly identified as an inherent and nefarious feature of the capitalist system.
