    From what I've been able to gather from a few of his talks, he's a professor of economics who served as Greek Finance Minister during the debt crisis and describes himself as a Marxist but not an ML. He's an excellent speaker, is critical of the field of economics, dunks on people who cry about China giving loans to developing countries, and just generally seems to have good takes. His big topic is that he thinks capitalism is in the greatest crisis of its history, and the left is totally unprepared.

      he has actually gone on record and identified himself as an anarcho-syndicalist with Chomsky as his prime influence. His "marxism" is simply his field of academic economy
