hahaha completely agree....the fact that his local party did not even make the parliament is a clear signal that we are irreversibely f***ed...but, I must have faith in the opposite, against all odds..otherwise how can I wake up in the morning
For all the Canadians I know who think talking politics and economics is not a 'good idea'. Too bad you are missing out on the most interesting discussions like this one. This is what we need to do, because if we can't discuss politics and economics then we are merely choosing between different lies in elections.
There are many economists/academia people who think the same and express but in a much small circle. The reason he can express himself at a "global" scale is because he was in the mouth of the "monster" and he knows exactly how EU/IMF works..On top of that he has an extensive historical knowledge of geopolitical landscape...which all professors on top universities in the world have..and when you think of it..there are many...But...don't have political power...and as a "tragically comedy": dont underestimate bumbling fools in confrontation with intellectual people...

Yannis warned about this gently when he said Corbyn could be snuffed out--if Corbyn had won we would have watched him taken down some other way. It takes incessant pushing by everyone, no excuses, no pause, through the painfully slow growing even the best and most commitited movement can muster, through all the devices power wields to end it quietly or even better in ruins,and only that way can the tuny inevitable burps of opportunity open the fleeting crack through which change pours. The alternative is the vast majority stuck living a life too miserble to bear. The latter absolutely will happen because the rich are even more addicted to manitining their mounds than we are softhearted enough to love life. Those who would live free must remain eternally vigilant and know what power does, so they can catch it in a butterfly net.
I am not sure which area of law states that "The civil servants run the country" here in UK (could be public law )but I am not an economist so not sure if that is entirely true, this was a considerable time ago when i studied the same. A formidable intellectual brilliant!!
The Civil Service is said to "Run the country" because they are the administrators of the Nation state structure, all its policies and laws are written by them MPs (supposedly) just come in and 'steer the direction of the civil administration' for the short time the MP is in office.
OK.... Now I'm baffled, Why did the MC insist on Yanis accepting about six (extremely lengthy and involved) questions all at once, from the crowd during the Q&A?? (at around the hour mark) Am I missing something? Why would an MC do this to the speaker, why the on-stage memory test?? O__o

I wonder what he did as the Minister of Finance to stop corruption and tax avoidance in Greece? That would be a very useful expertise
Read his "Adults in the Room" which covers all issues pertaining to his time as Finance minister including the Tax avoidance and corruption issues. Well worth reading for much much more than that too
And snuffed out with a jaw-dropping lie sustained by a stupefying taboo sadly only finally burst after it was too late to matter. Disaster is a one-way highway with exits, the final exit comes with flimsy cones before the end of the road.
i like this guy but i just heard him say 'when you times any number by zero you get zero' ....... lol? i will ASSUME it was a slip of the tongue because up until that point he had earned my respect..... but im now starting to think perhaps he's not worth my precious time... apart from the poor maths i thought it was really cool. hope u can fix that haha
In the main right, but seems to be living in a parallel universe where taxes are really used to fund public spending which they DO NOT! The point of a Sovereign Fiat free-floating Currency is that it has no backing except taxation. Lesson 1 Taxation gives value to the currency. Lesson 2. Taxation allows the govt to control aggregate demand and thereby inflationary biases in the economy. Lesson 3 Taxation allows govt to control taxpayer behaviour ie reduce numbers over-drinking or over-smoking. Lesson 4. Taxation can be used to reduce inequality by removing damaging wealth from the top but not reallocating it to the bottom just reducing differentials - obviously not too good at this at present. Lesson 5. There is no lesson 5 just re-read 1-4. Since the end of Bretton Woods the government doesn't need your taxes to be able to spend because spending is necessary in the first place to allow you to pay your taxes in the first place by the Treasury telling the BoE to mark up the accounts of the companies and people from whom they are buying products/services (money is created) then taxation destroys some of those created £s. £s are just credits awaiting destruction by taxation - they pay for nowt as they say in South Yorks. #MMT
I very much hope that l am wrong and Yanis is right, but l suspect that climate change, population growth and the threat of lslam will make restricting freedom of movement a moral imperative.
Purple Lights The moral dilemma will be whether to feed your own family at the expense of others or share your last meal, on a larger scale, replace family with nation.
Isn't the moral thing to do is to share as we are all the human race. First of all, climate change is a globally shared problem but with certain countries having more responsibilities than others as they have had a head start. But the solutions must be shared by all. However, I was more confused by the population growth and threat of Islam part. I thought that there have been studies that showed that population growth is inversely proportional to economic wealth of a country and as more and more countries are becoming developed, fertility falls and in fact the rate of global population growth has decreased. And if those countries whose population growths have been falling would think about opening their immigration policies to help in sustaining their economies. And the threat of Islam part, there are more than 1billion adherents of Islam. Are you saying they are all a threat? If they are, I would have thought that the world would be a much worse place. I don't understand this fear of immigration. I am not implying to go crazy with it and let any and everybody in but a common sense approach. Many of these people who immigrate are looking for a better life for themselves and their families.
Climate change will be defeated, overpopulation is a myth, and 'the threat of islam' is a direct result of the capitalist war machine, and will disappear with it.
In the example of Romania how did Varoufakis expect the Romanian Gov to increase the minimum wage when all the major TOP 100 companies are european ones who basically owns the gov and the major economical axes within the economy. All the energy sector, the banking sector, the oil sectors were "privatized" to the austrian, german and french STATE owned companies. This "privatization" process was imposed by the EU in order that the profits to go and sustain the major EU countries on the back of romanian people who were thus forced to go and work in UK and other countries. Varoufakis proposal for the Romanian govt to increase the minimal wage its pure nonsense. It is just as I'll ask the greek govt to pay european loans and thus stop the crisis, austerity and the greek migration from their country. Its nonsensical, both the problems in Greece and Romania were created by the EU crony-capitalistic-exploitation strategies and as a mean to exploit the week countries: in Greece by imposing unsustainable loans and in Romania by exploit the vast resources of this country by "privatizing" the major money income sectors, enriching thus the colonialists. I'm actually very surprised that Varoufakis do not know the roumanian position as it is almost identical to Greece, despite that the methods used by the EU colonialist were different.
I think this is something you got wrong.Minimum wage has been described as how it will work and the reason why it will work in another video but im sure you can read DiEM25 manifesto for answers.The point is not that.The point is:Are Romanian people ready to stand side by side with all those who want to know what is said and eventually decided on their behalf behind closed doors?Privatization has failed in so many countries but its still there as long as us people wont do anything against that by offering a different strategy. That is what we need to do.Fight for clarity to get our voice to those who stupidly still feed those practices that failed.
YaVa is my only living political hero, a towering figure in my estimation. But something is going terribly wrong here. Far from being an unarguable democratic decision, Brexit was a crime (a contaminated referendum) pulled off to support the ongoing plain-daylight coup (the hard Brexit shenanigans, still to be fully unleashed). How can YaVa claim that this corporate-criminal-fascistoid assault somehow trumps the DiEM meta-strategy of ‘within, against’? Nor will his astonishing attempt to rebrand Corbyn as a cutting edge Euro-democrat wash: it is now well understood that Corbyn is a geriatric-left Brexiter. YaVa needs to be careful that the stink of this man’s deceit and cowardice do not rub off. Second, despite Article 50, the UK is still in the EU. In the case of a vote against the leave package, the default would be that the UK remained. YaVa’s claim that a second referendum would be “absurd” is rhetorical dishonesty. The horrible truth to a democratic European and (until very recently) a DiEMer like me is that a game of chess is being played here: it would suit YaVa very well if the UK was repositioned as a semi-detached ‘Norway’. But this is a fantasy - YaVa says himself, often, that Brussels will not allow a successful Brexit of ANY sort. More fundamentally, British Europeans are not pawns to be ‘de-citizen-ed’, corralled behind this new Berlin Wall, left prey to the American corporations. This must be the truth, however correct, however splendid the final goal of YaVa’s calculations. This cynical (albeit concealed) willingness to sacrifice the UK means DiEM-UK has always been a bizarre form of Brexit cheerleader. Its ludicrous leadership (the Bexler clique) fetishizes endless talk-talk-talk as a calculated blocking action to real struggle against Brexit. They really have nothing to say, no flag of resistance to which Britons might rally. Fortunately, genuine Remain/Return groups have sprung up. But without a complete change of heart, and of strategy, this unfolding catastrophe for Britain will leave an indelible stain on the Movement for Democratic Change in Europe, (DiEM25) whatever great things it achieves hereafter.
Readers note that whereas I am happy to put my name to what I say, this brave Brextremist snarks from behind a veil of anonymity. (And style note, Oners82: saying 'methinks' in 2018 makes you sound, not clever but precious and silly.) In essence, this is just the Brexit-fascist jeer of 'Remoaner'! Change my 'narrative'? No, if Remain had won the bogus 'referendum' - despite its contamination by black corporate money, Kremlin black ops, the fascistoid UK press, etc etc - one would say that our present form of representative democracy had seen off a dangerous threat. As it has in the past, which victories Britons are, after all, very keen to regularly - in fact, rather obsessively - celebrate. If leavers then pressed for another referendum, that would be another threat to resist. The dark forces remain. Fortunately, a vast number of the ballot fodder, these empire-nostalgics, racists, embittered provincials, intellectual inadequates and little Englanders, are so elderly that within a relatively short space of time this noxious, recidivistic spasm would pass - forever. Beyond criminal-fascist contamination, the 2016 'referendum' is suceptible to innumerable other criticisms. To cite just two: Reducing complex questions to simplistic binaries. And: What was it that leavers can actually be said to have voted for? One of the overwhelming problems about leavers is their complete ignorance about the complex structure of modernity, even the arrangements their own lives rely upon. They are naive, petulant and infantile. The horrors which now await this country - a wholesale assault on our values and way of life by the American corporations; the abandonment of environmental and food safety standards; the sell-off of the NHS - will impact Brexit halfwits just as much as Remainers, just as much as all those who were "too busy" or "not interested" to defend themselves in 2016.
G Dugdale As for your name and mine, who cares? Most people use pseudonyms for pragmatic reasons, but if you don't so what? You then call me a "Brextremist" even though I voted to remain, so even ignoring the childish label I'm not sure what you're talk about there. You then whine about the word "methinks" for no apparent reason since it was used aptly. If you don't like the word or think that people could only use it to "sound clever" then you're an idiot. The rest is just conspiracy horseshit, but in amongst the inane rambling you do actually confirm my point. You said that if leavers fought for a second referendum it should be resisted which proves my point perfectly. When you don't get your way in a democratic vote you refuse to accept the decision and demand a second referendum, but if you had got your way you say that a second referendum should be resisted. That is textbook hypocrisy. I thought leaving could be disastrous so voted to remain, but when we lost I accepted the decision because I happen to agree with Yanis that demanding a second referendum is completely ludicrous. Anyway you don't exactly seem to have any meaningful arguments and you present yourself as a complete wanker so I'll leave you to it. See ya.
*Yawn* yet another wholly unoriginal blathering remainer... if you seriously fail to see that Jeremy Corbyn is the best hope this pathetic excuse for a democracy has, you need to take your head out of your arse. Sincerely, a libertarian socialist
Lukestar1991 Corbyn is cool but it is hard to argue that Brexit will be anything but bad for the country. All the yawning in the world won't constitute a valid argument as to how we are supposed to get a good deal when the EU adamantly refuses to give one and the UK lacks the drive to enforce one. The chances are we are going to get fucked by the EU just like Greece was.
I wouldn't brag too much about being the finance minister of Greece. That's like saying, "I was the chief engineer at Chernobyl", or "I designed the Titanic".
Regular Mistraining He was both too naive to have thought that he could be the super-hero finance minister who could just bluff his way (with all the game-theory crap) out of Greece s crisis, and too eager to add his brief running in the ministry of finance in his CV.

🤞 Imagine there were more people like Mr Varoufakis........🌍
We need this Man for our Children. A DiEM school can be a good idea.👈
✊
There are many; mostly ignored.
A very bright guy with emotional intelligence a very rare quality which the majority of politicians of all colours lack in Britain and beyond!
A brilliant man, always a pleasure to listen to.
Imagine if there were more politicians like Yanis.... Thank you for this video!
My goodness this man drops into the Einstein, class surely !
This Should have had 1,000,000 views by now...we are all doomed!
hahaha completely agree....the fact that his local party did not even make the parliament is a clear signal that we are irreversibely f***ed...but, I must have faith in the opposite, against all odds..otherwise how can I wake up in the morning
We used to call this "internationalism" he speaks of by another term: "Solidarity".
For all the Canadians I know who think talking politics and economics is not a 'good idea'. Too bad you are missing out on the most interesting discussions like this one. This is what we need to do, because if we can't discuss politics and economics then we are merely choosing between different lies in elections.
This Canadian enjoys talking politics and is using every change to listen to Yanis
Canada brace yourself for a wave of Tory governments and thank Trudeau for it
@@nikolasao Same thing in USA, UK will get the same thing from Labour since they axed Corbyn.
Greeks are insanely awesome! :-D Anyway jokes aside, thank you.
Greek awesomeness is laughter without the joke.

great thoughts
Let’s bloody fucking change this world already!
Bad translator. Saw many errors in subtitles
It's generated by an alghorithm. no human wrote those subtitles
Its not Brick City. Its Brexit. Its not deleted. Its do delete it. Glad im not deaf so dont hav to depend on this woeful subtitle service.

If you are sat in this room you are already an economic intellectual and understand the basic tenants discussed. YV speaks in more nuance.
Words growth at all were translated as girls doll in subtitles. Come on utube. Get it right or give up that facility.
And this intelligence(emotional as John Milton claims -a comment below) is with legs firmly in the life. We don't talk&do together.
