Below is a short comment from my friend Ike Brannon of Capital Policy Analytics. Ike is one of the sharpest fiscal analysts in Washington, but also has a litterary bent. We certainly agree on issues related to economic growth and taxes, one reason why I decided to share his comment on author Thomas Piketty. I use my copy of “Capital in the Twenty First Century” as a door stop, largely because the 577 page tome is unreadable, but that does not mean Piketty’s work is without influence.
