Summary:"This essay is a Review of Piketty's much-reviewed Capital in the Twenty-First Century. It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Piketty''s book, and then turns to discussion public pension plans (generally excluded from Piketty's data) as well as other publicly supplied goods. In the last Part, Piketty's ideas about wealth, or capital, taxation are considered. The criticism is that public choice considerations are largely ignored, as they are in much of the optimal tax literature. Some ideas for integrating these strands are offered."
