Since Piketty's 'Capital' was published, there's been a lot of interest in the relationship between 'r', the return on wealth and 'g', the growth rate of the economy, and how this relationship is influenced by the tax system. The ProPublica story provides obviously relevant data to this discussion. It is not, as Arnold would have it, "bullshit".

Absolutely.

Popularity and taste rarely coincide because most people have no taste.

(Me covets a The Doors of Perception / Heaven and Hell first edition.)

The other thing is to read books that are important, not just ones that are preferred or pleasant for a wider perspective:

- Mein Kampf

- Capital (Das Kapital)

- Technological Slavery

- The International Jew

- A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies

- The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol. 1-6.

- (ones by ideological opposites)

- America: The Farewell Tour

- Sorrows of Empire

Also, people who don't own any books, paper or Kindle... that's a big "nope."

Capital by Karl Marx.

Understand labor exploitation and avoid being a victim of it.
