Perhaps few things in this demented world excite me more than a royal feud in the literary circles. Sometime last year - Thomas Piketty - a French economist who is the type of guy you wouldnt recommend for a dinner party (like most French economists) - published what is widely regarded as the most important book released last year - Capital. The book purports to trace the (apparently) widening income gap across 20 industrialised nations - and manages to take all of 700 pages to explain itself. Naturally - the book polarised opinion across both sides of the Atlantic with some citing it as the most important work since Das Kapital and naturally anointing Piketty as the long-awaited successor to Karl Marx. Others took the view that the book should be relegated to the same heap of history inhabited by Ulysses and War & Peace. In other words - youre better off hearing about it rather than reading it. Multiple mixed reviews later - that esteemed guardian of financial reporting - the Financial Times - stepped in with a scathing editorial on why the book needed to be read with caution or avoided altogether. Citing the writers laissez faire approach to verifying his own research and his profound inability to even interpret his own spreadsheets properly the FT concluded that Piketty was no more than the natural successor to James Frey who famously embarrassed Oprah Winfrey. Yesterday - that other scar on French public life - the bumbling Françoise Hollande - resolved to present Thomas Piketty with the French Legion of Honour - only for Piketty to refuse the award on the premise that Hollande has absolutely no moral authority to decide whos honourable and should devote his time to fixing the French economy! With this refusal - he joined Frantz Fanon and the Curies in embarrassing Elysee Palace. And yes - Hollande - like everyone else you might wish to invite for dinner - has not read beyond page 10 of Pikettys book! theguardian/books/2014/jul/17/capital-twenty-first-century-thomas-piketty-review
