[EU S13 E18] Varoufakis Critique of Capitalism Today
Yanis Varoufakis, elected member of the Greek parliament, joins the program and offers his original, critical perspectives on (1) the banking crisis, (2) the decline of the US empire and US capitalism, (3) the mass uprisings of the French and Greek working classes in Europe, (4) the collapse of Europe's efforts to shape an independent (from the US and China) economic position, and (5) class struggle inside China.

Yanis is one of the most important voices on the planet. His detailed insights demand widespread understanding. Absolutely brilliant.
-
Dr Yanis Varoufakis is a world-class economist with grounded economic doctrines seasoned with practice through pragmatism in political office. Your influence in real-life economics is larger than some Nobel laureates for economics. May God bless your sphere according to your good work.

I’m a secretary at a corporate law firm and if it wasn’t for you 2 gentlemen (and the solidarity of a couple of secretaries at my work) I think I would go mad. I mean that literally. My job is taking a serious toll on my mental health because when our bosses treat us like crap the only option we have is to go to another corporation most of which are far worse. Power to the people! 🙏🏽❤️
-
I absolutely adore you and Yanis, what a great unexpected return from the hiatus. 🙌
-
Glad you had Yanis on your show & I agree 100% with his words:: "Let the banking system burn."
-
I appreciate Yanis for being able to apply a Marxist influenced analysis of capital without being dogmatically obsessed with old school Marxist takes. Refreshing to see someone willing to update and shift their thinking in this space. A payment system run by central banks is definitely going to rankle some of our more libertarian comrades though 🧐
-
Yanis always brings his A game. Brilliant interview and insight on the part of Yanis Varoufakis.
-
Please have Yanis on again very soon!!!
-
Yanis and Richard?! Two of the best at analyzing and critiquing the capitalist world order🥳
-
Please, more and longer conversations between these two brilliant thinkers. They are geniuses. Please, we want more Richard and Yanis!
-
Thanks to two of my favorite economists. I learned so much from you. 🙏❤️🙏
-
Great discussion, very refreshing compared to the usual tidal wave of propaganda we consume.
-
Very welcome exchange between two respectable economists.
-
Glad you're back Prof Wolff!! Great guest too.
-
да!❤Two of my favourites, in Chinese , we call this: my two favourite chefs cooking together~!
-
Welcome back. I missed you Monday and got worried. Now I’m better.
-
Thank you, prof. Wolff for finally acknowledging the possibilty of giving the people money in stead of the banks. I know you find this a particularly hard pill to swollow but I really do believe it will give us so much room to stop doing the things we know are harmful to the earth and start working on the stuff that will lift us up.
-
It is always necessary and useful to know and tell the truth about what is going on in the world today. Congratulations!
-
yanis' point at the end about China's capitalists not wanting the dollar hegemony to collapse is a huge topic. Fantastic video, Prof. Wolff!
-
I think you both are exceptional human beings because listening and reading you both have taught me that ignorance is not bliss but extremely dangerous and consequently has disabused me of mine.
