I’ve read him before, but this is a lightning strike. The scope but also economy of words... This one fits the Melville quote: “Genius, all over the world, stands hand in hand, and one shock of recognition runs the whole circle round.”
Geniuses may be rare, but if this piece doesn’t cause a Eureka moment for you, as in, “He just nailed almost all of it!,” you’ve not been paying close attention. If this doesn’t resonate, you’re asleep. This is Piketty in executive summary form.
