He’s absolutely right. As a German, nothing will change. Some cosmetic variation of the same
-
He is a man that understands our times, many governments would benefit from his wisdom. Also, Another Now is a great read.
-
When this man speaks my brain expands! Wonderful understanding of the hypocrisy in Europe!
-
Yanis, you're the best! You speak truth, even if it endangers your career or life.
-
I always love what yanis has to say.
-
Im always impressed by the clear insights and thoughts of Varoufakis. A true leftist intellectual.
-
Thank you Yanis for cutting through the nonsense. SPD, DSU, Greens are one and the same on the issues that impact people's lives.
-
The first words out of his mouth, " Let's stop hyperventilating" . 👏
-
Solid podcast. Very informative and Yanis Varoufakis is very eloquent. Thanks to both Amy and Yanis.
-
Thank you Yanis, I was thinking here in lock-down Sydney Australia what you would have thought of the Submarine fiasco and you answered it. I am also in agreement with one of our ex Prime ministers Paul Keating who stated that with this deal we could lose our sovereignty. What a mess! P S Yanis was right about Julian Assange, they are trying to kill him slowly. What a world we live in.
-
Ah, just like the U.S. Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for everyone else.
-
just one small correction: German SocDems put austerity measures in place in Germany in 2003 not 2009, when they were the leading party the last time under Gerhard Schröder.
-
Thank you again for your continued commitment to excellence in journalism.
-
This man’s intellectual understanding of events is greatly appreciated
-
Varoufakis is always a pleasure to listen to
-
THANKS for the very first sentence Yanis. Indeed not much has changed. As someone who lives in Germany I find it very irritating when the SPD is portrait as this leftist-proworker force. Yeah maybe that's historically true but most certainly not for the last 20-30 years. The SPD is along with the CDU responsible for all sorts of neoliberal policies in Germany and the EU
-
Yanis again thank you for your insights. People share this video far and wide, in fact there are a few of his videos that should be circulated. By sharing we can hopefully enlighten the snoozing. Major change starts with a whisper.
-
France: France 🇫🇷, please relax and just make an equal deal to build us more trains and busses. We all love your public transportation equipment.
-
I like Varoufakis but what he says about "green transition", the germans want to do that but the math doesn't check out. Where should the energy come from if coal and nuclear are gone? That is a big question mark. In the end Germans will have to return to nuclear. I disagree with him on the refugee issue: Europe cannot receive all the refugees of the world.
-
Thank you, dear Yanis 🙏🏽
