Literally threw it in the trash
I had deep respect for Piketty after having read his Capital in the 21st Century book. That book shall remain on my bookshelf. His newest book however went straight into the trash after I barely finished it in disgust. I won't bother leaving a lengthy review, but I will say as much: instead of letting the tired ideas of Socialism just die in some library corner, Piketty has decided to resurrect them. I took particular offense of the idea of companies run by the workers. Take a factory of sorts. The owners took all the risk to build the factory. They risked their capital, bought all the machinery, hired all the staff, found all the buyers and so on. So you mean to tell me that somehow the workers are entitled to partial ownership just because they assemble the widgets the factory makes? No. I was going to burn the book, but that felt too much like Soviet times, so instead did what any good wasteful Capitalist would do, I threw it in the trash.
