Understanding Inequality and What to Do About It

This event brought together a panel of three leading economists-Thomas Piketty, Kevin Murphy, and Steven Durlauf-to discuss the sources of the rise in inequality in advanced industrialized countries over the past 40 years, the problems it poses, and effective responses. Nobel laureate James Heckman moderated the panel and guided the discussion.
This event was cosponsored by the Becker Friedman Institute, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group, and the Center for the Economics of Human Development.

Thomas should be asked how well the "progressive" tax policy worked out when Nicholas sarkozy tried to implement it.

To leftists, it's just an anecdote because it doesn't fir their narrative. You can't reason with leftists.
