In the Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis - Season 1 Episode 5 One evolutionary step beyond
POWER, CAPITALISM AND THE RISE OF FASCISM
The Greek crisis was merely a symptom of a global system in turmoil. To understand what happened in Greece, a truly global context is needed. Drawing on decades of work as an economist and political analyst, Varoufakis weaves a compelling narrative about capitalism, freedom, social democracy, the 2008 crash and the ecological crisis. Full of unexpected twists and turns, he tells a story that takes us from the remarkable testimony of Alan Greenspan in 2008, via the revolution in economics championed by Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s, to new insights into democracy from Varoufakis’ time as finance minister. Joining the dots between our economic system and the climate crisis, Varoufakis offers a global view of the precarious path our civilization is on, and what must be done to change course.
