I can't claim to have read anything by him, but I know the general gist of arguments - he's firmly in the Paul Krugman/ Joseph Stiglitz 'neoliberalism is bad capitalism because it's created huge inequalities and what we need is more social democracy, i.e. capital regulation.'
It wouldn't surprise me if that documentary pointed to Finland (or 'Scandinavia' in general) as something of a model for how to make capitalism successful.
That's usually the narrative.
I'm inclined to agree, but generalising what you've got in those countries to somewhere like Nigeria with 20 times the population, that's the challenge!
