I think debt and the moral issues associated with it is actually probably the most important meta-political subject at this point in history, it encompasses a lot of things at once (europe, housing market, bank bailouts, student loans, etc. etc.) as such his book was perfectly timed and he hits a lot of things that aren't traditionally addressed by the field of economics, which doesn't have much room for morality w/i a mathematical model
I think he's extraordinarily 'relevant' thinker right now, even if he ultimately only hits a few notes again and again, they're notes that need to be hit
