Income inequality

While I'm still trying to formulate my thoughts on Negri, I thought I'd post this New Yorker review (which I came across on Twitter) by Thomas Piketty, a French economist:

Apparently, the book's major contribution is that it provides compelling statistical proof that the income gap in the US and Europe is higher than it's been since 1920. Although it's been whispered for awhile, perhaps this will add fuel to the fire.
