Rising interviews Piketty on addressing inequality

Author of Capital and Ideology. Inequality is a matter of political choice. So in the US the stark inequality is by design of the corrupt government bought off by its money masters. Krystal wonders how the US left can begin to address this when the Dem Party now caters to the  professional class and has abandoned a defense of economic populism along with the working class (7:32). Piketty noted that ideas coming from Sanders and Warren, like a wealth tax and progressive tax rates, are critical in this endeavor to both reduce inequality and to reaffirm support for the working class (8:30). Will Biden and company pay heed to this advice since Bernie and Liz aren't going anywhere near his Cabinet?
