    Enjoyed the interview, but thought Marc's title/hook is quite odd - 'optimistic' is quite an odd term if we require more events like the French revolution, world wars & Haitian slave revolt to achieve better economic relations...

    Monsieur, you don't need to convince me, you have to convince my government and their rich donors.

    Such a valuable perspective. Thanks for making available to a wide public Thomas Piketty's understanding of the basic challenge the human and anthropogenized communities are facing, .

    Capitalism is about helping the individual get rich, not about looking after the peoples needs.

      Not individual. A few groups/families of organized criminals.

      Capitalism is not about “helping” anyone but self. Like any system it has limits as does Communism and Socialism. Elements of all give the best result but the proportion of each is an elusive recipe.

      No. It is not. It is about enslaving people to both a working life ( ridden and soaked with the antithesis of democracy, an ideal that almost all capitalists would swear to adhere…EXCEPT in the workplace, in which, with the exception of the worthless ballot box, people are deemed far too ignorant and stupid to control jobs and working conditions that their own bosses know, notoriously, next to NOTHING about ), and, simultaneously, enriching the owner( s ) of the firm.

      Carbon credits for everyone. Spend or save as you want. You go into debt if you spend beyond your foot print. Buy and sell from others. But, everything you buy has a price. The new economy.

    When did ordinary Humans get to force the wealthy, privileged, elites not to be selfish?

      Between 1945 and 1979, at least in the U.K. The rich solved the problem by offering those with a bit of capital the chance to be just as selfish.

    Mega wealthy elites are common in the south, not just the north e,g, Brunei, Thailand.

    I look to the Scandinavian countries for modeling. Nothing is perfect, but I enter 2023 with more optimism than I've had in decades.

    imagine usa got on the thing that not the smartest ppl are the richest and they do not offer projects options as a state , and like making rich ppl pay less because wealth is wealth like money for projects is not right , they got to the idea that making ppl who hase no virtue for what they own , is a bright idea for countrys like qatar.
