The Rhetoric of McCloskey

Author

  • Phil Ryan

Abstract

The talented and engaging Deirdre McCloskey has launched a broadside against Thomas Piketty, the celebrated author of the international best seller, Capital in the Twenty-first Century. Piketty argues that inequality is likely to increase over time. McCloskey will have none of it, criticizing not merely his empirical methods but also his understanding of free market theory. The author rises to Piketty’s defense in a fascinating essay that picks apart McCloskey’s analysis in a devastating and intellectually provocative way.
