The yoga and mindfulness guru must have skipped some of the chapters in that indictment of income equality. Bertolini’s reported to be in line for a $500 million payday in the CVS purchase of Aetna, adding to income equality across the nation.

We await comment from Piketty, though we expect it would start with “zut alors!”
