Son interesantes las opiniones del entrevistado, relativas a la concepción de Renta Universal, su enfoque es didáctico, sin embargo, por tratar la temática con un enfoque global, tiende a realizar generalizaciones que no caracterizan algunos modelos de Rentas.

Conjuntamente con el colega César Burelli Valero, nosotros tenemos algunos trabajos (algunos inéditos)relacionados con los efectos del Rentismo en Venezuela, los cuales podrían tener alguna utilidad en la discusión del tema.
