I swear if it weren’t for Michael Hudson’s writings & interviews, I wouldn’t understand half the things I do. He’s an invaluable resource on domestic & international economics (and politics, and history for that matter).

Yeah, he's very good at contextualizing this stuff and giving a lucid explanation of the dynamics behind western financial capitalist system. I find Radhika Desai is also excellent. I love the show they do together.
