I understand everything and maybe even agree with the main thesis. But the positive example that he gives is Soviet Russia, which that time (1932-1933) went through massive famine in literally the most fertile land in the world which was caused by completely artificial reasons. And Soviet workers were forced to work more than ever without any payment. So the solutions in the article cannot be taken seriously.
