No, but neither was he an economist.

He had a very good education, was very smart and had top minds around him.

Do you think that if the elites paid more heed to his warnings and the Bolshevik Revolution (with resulting rise of Fascism and WWII) did not take place, it would be so bad thing?

He had a very good education,

Yes, but not in economics. It was a young discipline at the time, and few educated people, unless they were specialists, had a good grasp of it.

was very smart and had top minds around him.

Yes, top minds in theology, philosophy, and the natural sciences. Not so much in economics.

Do you think that if the elites paid more heed to his warnings and the Bolshevik Revolution (with resulting rise of Fascism and WWII) did not take place, it would be so bad thing?

IMHO, the Bolshevik Revolution and Fascism would have taken place regardless of whether the elites had followed his recommendations. The corporatism he was advocating was no remedy for the problems facing the west.
