Piketty has a book called Capital in the 21st Century, which makes similar statements and has pointers to his reference material here: http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/en/capital21c2

Also, it's a good book.

If you think about which of the industries in that chart are partially or fully shut down, it seems pretty consistent with the 14% unemployment we got.
