From where I'm sitting, ti also seems possible that he is trying to keep a foot in both worlds. For instance, the paper he just published with Zucman covers a lot of the same ground as K21, but in a much more orthodox way.<br /><br />http://gabriel-zucman.eu/files/PikettyZucman2014HID.pdf<br /><br />In any case, clearly a big part of the difference is the intellectual climate in France vs. the US. A friend tells me about seeing Piketty on a panel last year with Gerard Dumenil, where they clearly saw each other (and were seen by the audience) as peers and equals. Hard to imagine the equivalent here.JW Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664452827447313845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-7432635668139238412014-04-21T04:06:55.055-04:002014-04-21T04:06:55.055-04:00Very informative blog.

But he had a budding journalistic career as a youth that he could have kept up with if he avoided taking overly radical stands at key points, and would in effect pull a Piketty when he chose to write Capital itself, which took many years and mostly extreme poverty for him just to finish Volume I, the only one published in his own lifetime, and, of course, to much less financial success than Piketty's efforts are apparently resulting in.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.com
