These kind of scenes are played out over and over.

Some academic publishes something on a topic that gets hot.

Someone notices an error of some sort in a single publication.

Then the media runs with sensationalistic stories about the entire story collapsing.

I’ll note here that recognition of wealth inequality growth is not based on a single paper by a single person.

It’s interesting for me as a layman to poke around and try to figure it out. There’s a lot of variety of opinion even among Pickety’s defenders. I am reminded that the French were very unimpressed with his work and they were surprised to find the Americans liked it. Maybe the French were right.
