The theory looks like a fraud because it is analyzing the inequality only in static not in dynamic
What is the theory you refer to? It's not mentioned in the Bloomberg article. It does say:
> Piketty says his conclusion is that it’s a mistake to see inequality as rooted in nature, or driven by changes in technology. Its real causes are to be found in politics and ideology -- and that makes it easier to challenge.
I don't even see how that ties with your comment, so could you elaborate?

The Bloomberg title is "Thomas Piketty Is Back With a 1,200-Page Guide to Abolishing Billionaires".
The new book is titled (in English) "Capital and Ideology".
