About 10 years ago, a very thick book written by a French economist became a surprising bestseller. It was called “Capital in the 21st Century.” In it, Thomas Piketty traces the history of income and wealth inequality over the past couple of hundred years. The book’s insights struck a chord with people who felt a growing sense of economic inequality but didn’t have the data to back it up.

It’s the sort of June day that British summers should be made of, but rarely are. Pink flower-flecked brambles proliferate in knurled mounds, scattered across 3,500 sun-soaked acres of West Sussex scrubland audibly humming with bees. Curvy-horned cows chew rhythmically under shady old oaks among billowing stands of pussywillow and hawthorn. The birdsong is unreal.

Many observers will focus on the political intrigue, crookedness and corruption. How developers made direct requests to a minister’s chief of staff to take properties out of the Greenbelt. That government complied, making formerly protected areas available for development. For me, the sad thing is how the Greenbelt is conceived. Investors and politicians see it as land parcels, dark circles on a map, numbers tallied on a chart.

Rich Kruger, the new CEO of Suncor, Canada’s second-largest energy company, let shareholders know earlier this week that the transition to clean energy can take a backseat to the primary prerogative of juicing billions in short-term profits for shareholders from the oil sands. While this move will not be popular among environmentalists, I expect it will please some investors, who would like to wring as much money as possible from these fossil fuel assets before they become stranded.
