    I mean “prove” in the common usage, not as in mathematical proof.

    If Piketty read Marx he wouldn’t be astounded to find that indeed r > g, wealth accumulates and one class enriches itself at the expense of the rest.

    If Piketty read Marx he would not be lost about interpreting his own data, suggesting a wealth tax as if that would reconcile the contradictory nature by which capitalist wealth is produced in the first place.
