    jeffrey sachs is not merely an innocent economist/journalist though.

    he helped turn the soviet union to capitalism (with a dash of fascism) and came up with the framework to subjugate any country to imperialist goals. he is the one responsible for the things he allegedly doesnt like.

      I’m well aware of his work and the impact it has had (although a bunch of it has been overblown). It makes no difference to how valid his point is. What’s more his credentials lend him great credibility among those who still believe in the dogma of liberalism, and make it undeniable that if a highly accomplished working economist, shares the opinions of many Marxist analysts then delusional libs should probably listen for a change.
