It feels that the problem is less the input of data, more the crude estimates in prediction.  Neither school can project accurate enough estimates to overcome the value biases.  It turns into a complex game of he said she said.

They might have to keep trying, though.

I've been vaguely watching the French economist Thomas Piketty.  He is pushing more detailed data, different models and a theory of how it is we end up with wealth inequality.  He has gathered attention, but I haven't dug deep enough to hop on the bandwagon.  His followers are looking into the elites and how their values models encourage the wealth divide.  This, of course, makes him someone I think worth watching.
