#2No Piketty? Come on now. You don't have to agree with it, but it was a big part of the "conversation" about inequality in the 2010s.

#3It's The Guardian, so more of a list that defines their rather politically loaded view of the decade.
Obviously that sort of bias is not unique to The Guardian, but I'd prefer a list that genuinely sheds light on the times we are in.

It is a particularly narrow and somewhat shallow list, even for the guardian.
