In a cover story for Harper 's Magazine he made in 2006 to the imminent bursting of the speculative bubble in the U.S. housing market and the resulting consequences for the economy as a whole attention - at a time when it was the subject of the rest of the media and the mainstream economics still ignored.

Hudson is a member of the Latvian think tank Reform Task Force Latvia ( RTFL ) and criticized the conditions that currently (IMF ) will be made ​​to that country in the wake of the current global economic crisis of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, as a discrimination in favor of Swedish and other foreign banks. With regard to the euro crisis, he argues for the banks to take a monopoly on the creation of credit.
