He exposes some progressive views but he is still a liberal. He was one of the economists that advised Yeltsin’s Russia regarding shock therapy. So he has this gigantic skeleton in his closet.
I agree which is why i find this declaration carrying a lot of weight, it’s coming from a guy with some degree of authority on US politics and carries himself as very rational.
I think it has weight, however, his accusation lacks evidence. He is presenting very circunstancial evidence about a US COVID leak. There’s not even hard evidence of a genetic manipulation of the coronavirus. It’s very unlikely the media will give any attention. If there was even a request for a US lab to use Chinese facilities to spread the virus, both China and the US will keep denying the issue, even if China was the victim in this case.
Any thoughts on this? Sachs is kind of a respectable figure for the american left, not that it’s that important.

I still listen to him, because I like having a broader view on things, but I would never consider him a comrade.

I thought he felt like he was performing material.
