It's a five year old book, of course no one is talking about it specifically anymore. (And when it came out, everyone was talking about it.)

And "nobody is talking about inequality" is ridiculous. I've been to three major conferences in the last six months and there were multiple whole sessions on inequality. And not just income inequality. Educational, environmental even. It's not the only thing economists talk about, but far from "no one" is looking at it.
