He released a new book last year, with another guy, called Angrynomics. I'll likely pick it up and there's a small chance i'll read it. I think his book about austerity is in the same Amazon package. I'll consider it a tip for youtube entertainment.
Anyways this is what he's known for...

...it's once again becoming relevant. That's just the history of 2008 crash and how EU fucked over the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain).
He likes to be called MMT adjacent. I like the term to a degree. I don't know if it's true, but i hope so because it would make life simpler. MMT that is.
Anyways he spent some time looking at why Trump became a thing and how it tied to global trends. All around populism saw an sizable uptick. Right or left didn't really matter. And then what caused it. Some of it might be in that video.
He has semi regular podcast and few lectures online. I think this is the part where i should tell you he's Scottish, talks fast and assumes you know something about the subject.
Here's the thing i would like to live in a world where economics didn't dictate 80% of a persons destiny. I don't really like economics. But i don't live in that world. To a degree that's a lie. In my world i can fuck around and get most things i want. That's Northern Europe for you. We don't need prosperity for survival. I can be broke as fuck and still be about 80% from the wealthiest person in the country regarding life expectancy.
I don't really have point with any of this. Give me something.
