Piketty theory not only explanation of Inequality

False triumphalism implied by headline! As the Rich own or control most if not all the media they are hanging on to any bit of 'evidence' that might justify extremes of income and wealth inequality. Of course, Piketty's theory is not the only explanation of inequality, it might not be scientific truth but it is one strand of thought that helps to explain inequality - among many others, such as legal structure of corporations, inheritance tax levels, copyright laws etc.

Population Growth - main Challenge to Future of Mankind

There may be some truth to it - Greece could probably grow out of its debt problem if population growth accelerates. But all-too-often analysts and commentators (and the politicians all over the world) see population growth as a positive. But stopping and reversing it would be the best way to stop environmental degradation!

Population Growth often overlooked factor

The country had a population of 22 Million in 1945, latest estimate is for 2015 is 121 Million (!!), is it any surprise that many/most Developing countries are in a mess, and it is getting worse? All economic plans, reforms etc are fruitless endeavors if face of this human flood. Just imagine Switzerland with 30 Million people, of France with 210 Million!

SURVEY: 82% of investors think more firms will set up in Europe because of Brexit

Nothing to worry about, if anything positive for UK as its firms will have to set their eyes on export markets in a more pro-active manner. Free of the cost of EU membership (mostly socialist redistribution to the unworthy) and regulation Britain should do well. Being ruled by one government rather than a committee of 27 should speed up decision making.

Ray Dalio of Bridgewater on human infrastructure

Well, it is ironic, but he is part of the problem, maybe even the solution. He and the like of him are sucking up the energy and the resources of the country, $1.4 billion, nice piece of change, and what did he do for it? Use the rules of the game to his advantage.
