Why listen to honesty when you can call the messengers authenticity into question?
Granted, the Forbes interview isn't that tilted, but already calls are going out that this guy should die, it's a hoax, etc., not to mention that his line about Goldman Sachs ruling the world is going to feed every single conspiracy you can imagine.
What he is definitely right about is that no measure of intervention is going to help Europe, anymore than it did the United States. Simply rescuing the financial system isn't going to solve the problem, at this point it is too systemic to be merely bailed out. However "another recession" is a misnomer, for most people it never ended.
Should he be listened to? Well, let's just say it's rare to see someone say such things in the open, for obvious reasons.
