The Far-Right Sweeps Europe w/ Yanis Varoufakis
Episode description
Welcome to Election Economics, a Macrodose bonus series that we’re running in the lead up to the UK general election on July 4th.
Over the coming weeks James Meadway will be joined by a selection of economists, politicians and commentators to unpack what the campaigns’ policies and pledges mean for people in Britain.
Today James Meadway is joined by Yanis Varoufakis - who will unpack and reflect on the weekend’s European Election results - which saw leftwing parties suffer defeat at the hands of the right across Europe. Yanis is an economist, politician, formerly Greece’s finance minister, and author of several books, including most recently Technofuedalism: What Killed Capitalism - which he has discussed previously here on Macrodose: https://www.patreon.com/posts/era-of-cloud-w-97039226
