    I find it interesting that people here are falling over themselves to defend a capitalist economist. Is supporting Russian nationalism so important that we now defend a participant in the destruction of the Soviet system?

      You’re arguing with straw men. I’m not defending capitalism nor the destruction of the Soviet Union. Nobody is confusing Sachs for a comrade. I said, “as capitalist positions go.” There’s a difference between Keynesianism and neocolonial asset stripping of the commons.
