Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will appear at an event later this month in Boston with French economist Thomas Piketty, bringing together the authors of two books on economic inequality that have both vaulted to the top of the Amazon and New York Times best-seller lists.
The conversation between Warren and Piketty, to be aired on HuffPost Live, will take place at Boston's Old South Meeting House on May 31....
The Old South Meeting House, where the event will be held, is known as the birthplace of the American Revolution, from where the (actual, historical) tea party was launched.
The conversation will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will be moderated by this reporter. It is open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. To submit a question for Warren and/or Piketty, email ryan-at-huffingtonpost.com or tweet @ryangrim.Dare we say, awesome in its symbolism.
The event is being sponsored by Patriotic Millionaires, a group of high-net-worth people advocating for higher taxes on themselves. Piketty proposes drastically hiking taxes on the rich as one of the means of reducing inequality.

It's a good thing that Warren is hooking up with Piketty because Piketty has been eviscerated and totally refuted.
