  1. You are so right, but he does need to be a bit more careful with his language at times. People like him and Piketty and Wolff need to realise that nobody is going to flip back to any sort of Marxism. It will be some from of new economics that might be a hybrid of others things. Yanis likes to call everyone "comrade" and that's ok with me but certainly not ok with many people. Like a few others he needs to realise that Marxism (communism/socialism) FAILED or at least accept that the way Marxism (communism/socialism) was practiced FAILED and FAILED MASSIVELY. From the Gulags & purges to the environmental catastrophes of places like the Aral Sea, Marxism in all its variations FAILED and nobody is going to go back to it. What the Capitalists need to realise is that capitalism has ALSO FAILED or at least this version of capitalism (neoliberalism) has failed. Just like some of the Marxists don't want to admit Marxism failed the capitalists don't want to admit capitalism has failed. On that Yanis and others are 100% right, we need new economic ideas.
