Yeah, I am in favor of migration. But I am also in favor of education. But at the same time, I am in favor of progressive taxation. I think we need all of this. I think we don't have to choose one.
From Thomas Piketty
I was born too late to have any temptation with communism, or at least Soviet-type communism. Travelling in Eastern Europe and the ex-Soviet Union, you clearly don't want to defend a system that would have empty shops and a totalitarian regime and internal passports.
I don't live in the Cold War. Some people maybe still live in the Cold War, but this is their problem, not mine.
I am not political. It is not my job. But I would be happy if politicians could read my work and draw some conclusions from it.
There is a fundamentalist belief by capitalists that capital will save the world, and it just isn't so.
I think inequality is fine, as long as it is in the common interest. The problem is when it gets so extreme, when it becomes excessive.
