    It seems that the architecture that controls the flow of global wealth is somewhat independent of regional politics.

I just got to the chapter in Piketty where he finally shows us graphs in emerging countries as opposed to France, England, US -- and they're nearly the same. Definitely the exact trend, just slightly different magnitudes. If I had my book with me I'd be more specific.
