I like his pedagogic style, but he's maybe too optimistic about all people being good deep down etc. I learned a lot about 20th century power play with his books.

where would you recommend someone to start with his books?

He had the right thoughts but never went through with his proposals, the Greek economy still is a disaster.

"Talking to My Daughter About the Economy" can be read in an afternoon and will give you basic notions of the economy. Then read Global Minotaur if you're interested in his global minotaur thesis. Yet the best place to understand his thoughts is his blog.

He had a plan to to create a new currency for Greece and to start from a clean table. He had ordered hackers to make everything ready digitally. All it needed was a push of a button and a declaration. And he was completely right, all the depths etc. are just smoke and mirrors. Now he is obviously biased, and probably has a bank account in the Bahamas or Switzerland.

sporadically, at best.

thanks, I'll start with the firs one.

you thinking he selling out for that media money?

He didnt have the power to enact his reforms, the PM he was working with buckled under pressure

he's on the outside looking in so the rest of his life is gonna be writing books and being a talking head

if a new currency were a feasible option for south euro countries, it wouldve been done long ago

greece produces nothing of relevance and imports everything it needs -- paid for in euro
