The dude is a pure academic and just trying to sell socialism with hand waving.

I look at it differently: His ideas are so weak and removed from reality that they can’t even stand up to a Yahoo Finance article.

We should be careful taking policy advice from people who have never had real jobs.

So teaching isn't a real job? Authoring books isn't a real job? Someone should probably tell a lot of people the bad news...

>selling socialism with hand waving

Lol, more like selling it with award winning, best selling, taught in colleges books? If you're convinced that's "hand waving" you're beyond lost

uhh not sure what constitues a real job if not an author, consultant and teacher (on top of being a successful academic). Have you read his book? It's quite good.
