@ryangrim Except it didn't take until now for an economist to do this. Lots of economists have done so, they just aren't neoliberals.

@matthewstoller yeah, that's why i put mainstream in the lead -
@ryangrim I would swap 'finally mainstream economists get it' for 'mainstream economists took bribes from banks for years to lie' -
@matthewstoller he didn't say they didn't get it, said they were too cowardly/bribed to say what they knew outloud -
@ryangrim And that's why the core problem here is character, not data. And on that score, why are we celebrating those who were cowards? -
@matthewstoller who's celebrating cowards? -
@ryangrim That's what this whole Picketty reception is about, celebrating mainstream economists' ability to 'get it' on inequality -
@matthewstoller well, yeah, celebrating one of them, and his colleagues who helped. But I haven't seen mainstream economists embrace him yet - 23 more replies

@ryangrim Picketty's data is great, but this cult of personality stuff needs to stop. He's being celebrated because he likes the status quo.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
