Yes it is, and I because economics is political, I would appreciate putting an adjective describing the politics of the specific economists who are cited. If I cited a Hayek, as an "economist" it would be incredibly dishonest as his works are deeply libertarian and considered right wing. Mainstream neoliberal politics is right wing but not libertarian, very interventionist. But Piketty is left-wing, and it is dishonest leaving that part unsaid when citing him.

I agree, there is a difference between the technical and political parts. Sorry if I seemed dishonest, but I cited both the 2014 critique as well as a more general 2024 PSZ critique (from right wing POVs) including other economists who usually post on the same subject of income inequality. I will edit my original comment to include Piketty's rebuttals.
