    He has some books that outline that he falls pretty firmly into the social-democratic camp nowadays. I don’t know if he’s ever owned up to his mistakes, but I know he views China’s opening up and reform period as basically what he was going for and that they did it better. He likes Sanders.

    He also has some perhaps cold but realistic examinations of “sweatshops” in the global south, claiming they’ve been put into a position of such extreme poverty that they become nearly mandatory for those nations to adopt before they can begin socializing aspects of the economy and making better lives for workers. Not claiming he’s correct or incorrect, just his line.

    He was also on the Netflix “Explained” episode on billionaires and had some pretty good things to say.
