I own this book (I wish I didn’t) but I was thinking of doing a sort of analysis of it, with sticky notes on everything I feel like commenting on, on each page. Perhaps I could even write a paper. I can do it once I have a good lot of sticky notes. Is this a good idea to waste my time with?

    If you do it, I’ll read your work. I have tried reading the book but it’s too dry for me so I set it aside for later.

        I am reading it right now and thinking about writing an overview and putting it on github. If you are interested in collaborating, feel free to let me know.

          Maybe, but I stopped reading it because I bought a bunch of novels and I like them way more. I bought his newest book, Capital and Ideology (god why don’t I learn from my mistakes), so if I ever do write a paper on Cap21C I gotta do one on CapIdeo too.

    Piketty right? I haven’t read it, but I heard it was pretty much watered down Marxism. Might have some good stuff in there tho.

      Yep. He explicity critiques Marx multiple times trying to find a solution to the problem, saying that Karl is radical or something. He just comes to the conclusion of taxes. I read it months ago, I cannot remember too well. I do remember there being some good nuggets, yet I cannot remember what they said.
