I don't think there is any serious evidence that we need to be paying people more than 100 times the average wage in order to get high-performing managers.

We want capitalism and market forces to be the slave of democracy rather than the opposite.

When the rate of return on capital exceeds the rate of growth of output and income, as it did in the nineteenth century and seems quite likely to do again in the twenty-first, capitalism automatically generates arbitrary and unsustainable inequalities that radically undermine the meritocratic values on which democratic societies are based.

We know too little about global wealth dynamics, so we need international transmission of bank information.

I certainly agree that capital is not a one-dimensional object, and that the return on capital takes very different forms for different assets or different people.

Refusing to deal with numbers rarely serves the interests of the least well-off.
