As an FYI, the "Smartest Man" that he's referring to is George Soros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros

Wein wrote a biography of Soros in the past, and the biographical sketch at the beginning match very closely.


Just another elite who hasn't read Keynes. Funny that he gets that austerity in Europe was a bad idea but doesn't understand why monetary stimulus in the US don't lead to growth.

We need more demand for aggregate demand, not more digital money sitting in banks.


The smartest man - just waffles, sorry. Nothing tangible or of substance in there and nothing really useful either.
