1) How does inequality fit in with the other topics of IPE? 2) Piketty continuously makes the argument that inequality matters greatly, but never directly says why it matters. So, does inequality matter, and why? 3) What matters more, perceived or real inequality? 1- How does Piketty critique the prevailing views on inequality and economic growth, and what role does he propose for social scientific research in addressing these issues? 2- What does capital in the 21st century argue? And what do you think about this argument? 3- What is the “national income” concept? And why is it important? 1- Are Piketty's solutions for economic inequality adequate? 2- Can informal and formal institutions boost inequality, and how?  3- Following last week's, does the internationalization of intellectual property rights participate in inequality?
