In fairness to Picketty, he did think we could avoid neo-feudalism if ordinary people set aside their competitive and selfish natures to focus on the co-operation that is at the heart of our success as a species. Funnily enough, Mike Berners-Lee wrote the same thing at the end of There is No Planet B (a book I do wish more of the billionaire tech bros had read).

So, yeah: we're big fucked.
