Summary
A democratic left, according to the result, should learn again to represent the material issues of justice offensively. According to Piketty, only by enforcing a tax rate that rises with income levels and taxing the wealthy can the financial resources be freed up to tackle the necessary renovation of state infrastructure, investment in neglected economic areas and in education systems. Sandel, on the other hand, favours political participation and the "patriotic duty" of the better-off to contribute to the common good of their country.
