The howler was that he claimed the US didn't have nostalgia for the post-WWII period, because he (a Frenchman) was trying to tie French nostalgia for that period to particular economic events that were not parallel to US events. We didn't have those events but do have that Baby Boomer nostalgia, counter to Piketty's claims--which he seems to have pulled out of a randomly selected orifice, because I have seriously never seen anyone claim that there is not nostalgia for the postwar period. It's just...faintly lunatic, honestly.
