He has some good writing (he's a regular contributor to Strong Towns), but I feel he's also a 'doom and gloom' guy.
He's correct about cities and their importance, but there's a lot going on with macroeconomics that seems to be 'weaponized' by a lot of people, rather than discussed carefully and critically. I suppose the latter happens in academic journals that don't see much public exposure.
Remember the doom and gloom people who predicted runaway inflation during the last financial crisis?
I'm no expert, so it's difficult to parse out the legitimate worries from people Pushing An Agenda.
