In American society there is a huge underlying ideological force that influences thought and discussion, of capitalism vs communism.<br>Anything said that is not pure capitalism is always brutally attacked as if it were pure communism which is a big big problem so it's great that you gave krugman a bit of a voice here.  Note that actually I am not such a supporter of krugman, as i think that he , along with the mainstream, all do not understand some critical things about fiat currency, and never learnt anything from the GFC, things the MMT school explains.  But it's critical to give him a voice and I hope you invite him again even though he may not be popular in your community. There is a great "secular stagnation" happening for a very long time - very low economic growth - and its important to hear from the Heterodox economists and "cross fertilise" in order to progress the field and understand how to run economies  better and your platform has potential to   be a good venue for that.<br><br>I see that this video is actually 2 years old and I only just came across it now , even though I have been looking for exposure of Heterodox theory in social media a long time, so I guess that the Heterodox is still consciously dismissed in the echochambers of what i might call  almost mainstream social podcasts
