"Kim Kardashian West's selfie book might determine the fate of our civilization."
Shad made that statement jokingly during last week's pop culture panel — but now that he's given it some thought, he'd like to stand by it. The "book" is, after all, a product of its time.
"I've come to the conclusion that between Thomas Piketty's Capital and Selfish ... Kim's book might present the more compelling case against modern capitalism."
q: Hear him make the case and tell us: do we get the best-sellers we deserve? Is Selfish more a portrait of society than of one selfie-taking celebrity?
