Shame on you for your appeal to authority. The question is do the statistics support Piketty's interpretation or not. Not who generated them.

The point is that the FT switched from one type of data to another, as per usual truth is probably somewhere in the middle, which would probably still back up Mr Picketty's analysis.
As many people have said, is the UK one of the most equal societies in the world? This seems very unlikely
