Have you read "And the Weak Suffer What They Must?"? It's fantastic. Really helped shape my view before the EU Referendum here in the UK.
- siavosh 10y agoNot yet, but it's on my list. I've been watching a lot of Yanis' talks on youtube, very compelling perspectives.
- grub5000 10y agoAgreed. He's a pretty compelling presenter/speaker. He participated in a discussion on Channel 4 news [1] along with a former Kremlin Advisor that I find highly entertaining. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZjqicN8Zug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZjqicN8Zug
- siavosh 10y agoHave you found any notable economist that critiques his work?
- grub5000 10y agoHaven't tried really, but no. I was too worn down by the referendum to willingly take any more...
- conanbatt 10y agoHe is more like a political figure than an economist theorist. I have yet to read the books but have seen many of his lectures and its so opinion-based that its hard to be critical. I think he is more of a communicator than a novel intellectual.
