His command of English is incredible. I don't mean just for a non-English native speaker, I mean for anyone. His ability with the language is far better than most well educated native English speakers.
-
As an ordinary person, this man is someone I will always hold in esteem mainly because of two points: He shows no signs of self interest and more importantly he admits that he made mistakes. To me that's the real sign of a person who can be held in trust, a very dangerous thing in the modern world. There's not enough of people like him in power.

Apropos of nothing, I just wanted to say how impressed I am as an Englishman, that sheer quality of non native English speaking in this interview. Both speak to a native level, and the Swedish interviewer almost sounds English.

"ECONOMICS is BANNED in EUROPE" There you have it, folks THE TRUTH ! - Thank God for YANIS VAROUFAKIS

Professor Varoufakis speaks in "clear talk", keeps things simple & says what he means. He is no politician. I like him.
-
Every European needs to listen to this man.

What an absolute credit to his role as an elected politician and representative of the Greek people. I take my hat of to him for his honesty, integrity and most of all, bravery as a human being. It's a shame most other people in his position have become as corrupt as the establishment in which they serve. May god bless the Greek people, now and in the future.

I have yet to meet a "lazy Greek", not only are they industrious despite the mess their government's got them into with the corrupt EU but amongst the friendliest and most welcoming people you can find.

The Man is a Gladiator ... he knows his stuff like no one else does ... Bravo !

That this guy could go anywhere in the world and make lots of money but chooses to do the right thing and bring these issues to light is inspiring.
-
This bloke's IQ, communication, general grasp of the actual and ability to talk sensibly with feeling without rancour or emotion is mind-blowing. He just trots out a metaphor about Macbeth as if he was discussing the weather.

Wow! A breath of fresh air, hard to believe he was really in government, he is so genuine.

Genius at work! Its wonderful to watch a clear thinking, intelligent AND good man explain how governments really "work"!

This should be seen by all Europeans!

This is one smart and ethical dude, virtually a lone voice in the wilderness.
-
Yanis, that was an eye opener, the democratic world needs more people like you. Can't wait to read your book.

I am so glad I discovered this video. I am one of many who believed the propaganda that the Greeks were simply "Lazy" and that is why they were bankrupted. Then I heard Nigel Farage at EU parliament mention the plight of Greece and his accusation of EU ruining that nation. So I got interested. Now Yanis explaining and enlightening us. I owe my Geek friends an apology.
