Your friend Judt is not a "great historian". He is another expat brit who lived large off the American capitalist society that he spent a lifetime criticising. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Judt

By his own description he was a "a public intellectual voice within the American Left" He was no doubt a big fan of the old Soviet systems where equality was the norm - equality of poverty.

As a group the members here have a lot of good ideas about how to distribute wealth more equitably, but I've seen very few posts about the need to create an environment to nurture and attract entrepreneurs and businesses to our community to create additional wealth.
