He himself has admitted that he isn't ``successful'' in his writings. I suppose that depends on exactly what is meant by success. I believe he was referring to the fact that he hasn't struck it rich, although, I'm pretty sure he is not a suffering economist. As far as his academic credentials are concerned, he is very impressive. My point was that while he may not consider himself successful with respect to finances, his public presence sure does make up for it. His writings and speeches are sometimes very controversial and evoke extreme reactions by those who read and hear them.
