Two Articles from the Times, that get It Right

Why Is It So Hard for Democracy to Deal With Inequality?

What Is a Populist?

Both of these arrived in my inbox this morning. Both of them are heavy reading.

You might want to start with the second one first - it's from the Atlantic Magazine, and does an excellent job of nailing down a difficult subject.

Here is a quote from the first one:

Most recently, Thomas Piketty, a French economist who is the author of “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” has come up with a straightforward answer: Traditional parties of the left no longer represent the working and lower middle classes. 

He writes in English, writes well, and exposes us to some of his original thinking. Your thinking will benefit as well. 

And it shows how the NY Times, is the American paper of record.
