I haven’t been around much the past week because I’m ass deep in the silly season.
Casper mentioned a new book, so I thought I would tip you guys off to a hilarious review of a review of Piketty (HT: Ballon Juice):
I apologize in advance, because I am going to talk about a piece that I have not yet read. To be clear, I do not intend to read Megan McArdle’s “Piketty’s Tax Hikes Won’t Help the Middle Class.” I’m afraid that I can’t wait to weigh in — not on the review itself, but on its topic. How much doesn’t inequality not actually not matter?
Enjoy.
Meanwhile, cluster is all excited about a report form a “self selected citizens committee” faulting the Obama Administration. What a shock.
Perhaps we should form our own citizens committee. I’m sure we could find something to investigate.
