KRISTOF: An idiot's guide to inequality. "The rush to purchase Piketty’s book suggested that Americans must have wanted to understand inequality. The apparent rush to put it down suggests that, well, we’re human....There’s still a great deal we don’t understand about inequality. But whether or not you read Piketty, there’s one overwhelming lesson you should be aware of: Inequality and lack of opportunity today constitute a national infirmity and vulnerability — and there are policy tools that can make a difference." Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times.

Teddy Roosevelt: "Malefactors of great wealth are curses to the country."
