It's built on a bunch of education and theory that's not at all covered in the article. The man is sufficiently credentialed to suggest that this is at least a well considered position of his based on his experiences as an economist and finance minister.

The man is sufficiently credentialed to suggest that this is at least a well considered position of his based on his experiences as an economist and finance minister.
He was fired from finance minister of Greece after only a few months on the job for the less-than-braggable achievement of completely sabotaging Greece's recovery and ensuring Greece was the only European country which failed to recover during their bailout process.
> He was fired [...]
He resigned and for good reason and he proved to be correct in all his assessments. You clearly don't know what you're talking about, at least get your facts straight.

Not that I'm a fan of him, but that's the least generous interpretation of the negotiations for the crisis in Greece.
>The man is sufficiently credentialed to suggest
Who thinks this way? Credential-ism isn't a substitute for clearly stated arguments.
If he presents an argument reflecting his credentials that's great, but some useless platitude doesn't get a pass because he went to college or some nonsense

Reputation is a short cut. And it's super common in every human discussion. Whether it is the HN heroes of pg and Musk, or this guy, we can look at someone's reputation and get a sense for their abilities.
Also, credentialed doesn't just mean academic credentials.
