Hope you're feeling better now, solidarity ✊

This looks very exciting, looking forward to reading it!

I can tell, there's some deep cuts here! I'm loving your book btw, working through slowly and trying to watch each movie before the chapter about it. Thanks so much for writing it 😁

Thanks so much for sharing, half of these are completely new to me!

Perhaps we can avoid all the discourse going forward by simply planning world-historic revolutions for the start of every century. If they were disruptive enough we'd get nice neat demarkations for all to agree on.

Thank you for your incredible work, and for making it publicly available!

Haha — and Lordon's tricky even for fluent French speakers too! Would be happy to revisit it to summarise. IIRC Lordon says that Piketty collapses ideology into just news articles, and that P's definition of capital as property means he doesn't understand capitalism and should return to Marx's def.

On his approach to capital and ideology, his debate with Lordon is instructive. I think Lordon's criticism is mostly accurate, though quite harshly delivered: www.youtube.com/live/dDY3acz...

Agreed! There's a couple of reasons I can think of that made this book a pleasant surprise.

1) I think he's improving over time, and 2) his methods are better suited to studying inequality than to studying "capital" or "ideology", which he doesn't define so well.

It wasn't showing up there last night but it is now, thank you so much!

It looks like the link is broken, just a heads up. Would love to read this, thanks for sharing!
