I would definitely consider him to be on the left, but he's definitely not a bog-standard Vox liberal. He has a lot of interesting/non-mainstream ideas in his book Radical Markets:

  • have all private property constantly be on sale (according to the owner's self-assessed value) in order to increase allocative efficiency (i.e. whoever values something the most gets to have it)
  • quadratic voting (you can vote more than once on an issue, but each vote costs progressively more so that n votes costs X\^n dollars or credits), so that people can vote on issues in proportion to how important they are to them
  • individual visa sponsorship (allow each citizen to give a visa to a migrant in exchange for money)
  • also some other ideas that are non-standard

    Summary of the book in the Economist (titled "Don’t shrink the role of markets—expand it")

Starting point is the book and the various on-line presentations and interviews:

This Epicentre interview I found particularly enlightening:
