@aurabogado@chrysopoetics he references empirical literature, then uses the film to communicate the point -
@UnlearningEcon Wait, are you arguing that Piketty actually acknowledges slave trade in his assessment of wealth inequality?@chrysopoetics -
@aurabogado@chrysopoetics yep, he speaks at length about it at the end of (I think) chapter 4 -
@UnlearningEcon "At length" in one part of one chapter? Yeah. So I can't help you. I really can't.@chrysopoetics -
@aurabogado@chrysopoetics he definitely "acknowledges the slave trade". But you'd have to read the book to see that -
@UnlearningEcon But you'd have to read to see that.@chrysopoetics -
@aurabogado@chrysopoetics as he does. At the end of chapter 4.
