    isn’t this guy a bourgeois economist or something? did he have a change of heart?

    • Yes. He was involved in shock therapy after the fall of the USSR.

      I don’t know a ton about him, but he seems to actually say (correct) things that people don’t usually say in the MSM.

      He also accused the US of the pipeline explosion (with some pretty damning evidence - the interviewers were in shambles), which was immediately censored from Bloomberg.

      Probably not trustworthy overall but he does say some true things sometimes, so better than most of what you see in MSM.

      Historically he’s even worse than that. Dude was personally extremely involved in the reforms of the post-USSR that led to a drop in life expectancy only seen during wartime. But for me that is why it’s so interesting he is saying this stuff that others won’t dare to even touch. He is one of those people where it would be very interesting to discover his true intentions. I wonder if his role in Russia when he was younger was done in good faith growing up in cold war US and he’s really coming around, or if he just has personal financial interest in global “cooperation” and for that reason wants to slow down the new cold war.
