Bit of a giveaway to write ' demolished the myth of 'trickle-down'. I am not familiar with the authors apart from Thomas Pickety. However would one seriously expect any other conclusion from him? He and the other authors (if they inserted the word 'myth') had an agenda and naturally, produced a report validating it.This is not to say there are no serious issues with the 98% of wealth distribution. I should not use the latter word because it implies a zero sum game for wealth which is not the case. It's otherwise known as the Pie Fallacy of wealth. It's out there and greedy rich people have grabbed the lion's share. Many people still believe this.
