Thomas Piketty
“Paradoxically, the sources available today (in the era of big data) are less precise than those that were available a century ago due to the internationalization of wealth, the proliferation of tax havens, and above all, lack of political will to enforce financial transparency, so it is quite possible that we are underestimating the level of wealth inequality in recent decades.”
― Thomas Piketty, Capital and Ideology

K.C. Cole
“One person's data is another person's noise.”
― K.C. Cole
