The EU's financial system operates in the shadows, with institutions like the European Investment Bank (EIB) wielding immense financial power, but who actually benefits? In the latest episode of EU Watchdog Radio, we sit down with Yanis Varoufakis - former Greek Finance Minister, Member of the Greek Parliament, and relentless critic of financial elites - to dissect the EU's economic machinery.From the European Investment Bank's role in fueling corporate capture to the EU's relentless push for competitiveness at the expense of social and environmental justice, we dig into the flaws of a system designed to benefit the few. In an exchange with Alexandra Gerasimcikova, Varoufakis unpacks the implications of Europe's lack of political will to mobilise large scale public funds to build a green economy, prospects for Europe to compete with global actors in the field of artificial intelligence, the dangers of Europe's growing military spending, and what bold changes are needed to shift power back to the people.Tune in for an unfiltered conversation that exposes the reality behind EU finance.

In this episode, Andrew Mazzone hosts a debate between Yanis Varoufakis and Scott Baker. Dr. Varoufakis is the former Greek Finance Minister and a current member of the Hellenic Parliament. Scott Baker is the President of Common Ground-NYC, and a blogger for the Huffington Post and Oped News. The two discuss the effects of the Bretton Woods Agreement, the post-World War II recovery, economic solutions to a rising China, and the dichotomy of open borders for finance but not humans.
A well-known critic of the neoliberal world order, economist Yanis Varoufakis believes capitalism has become 'techno-feudalism' - with tech companies and Covid making the rich even richer and the poor poorer. But he also believes there is a democratic socialist alternative, which he presents in his 2020 novel Another Now: Dispatches from an Alternative Present.
Yanis Varoufakis, economist and former Greek Finance Minister, talks about his new book, "Another Now," which lays out a world with no billionaires, no tech giants, and no need for stock markets, and where everything is fair and equitable. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

FMQs was back to Thursday and today was the 3 weekly review of the Covid regulations. It was an anticipated roll-back of the numbers allowed to meet in homes and outdoors plus an extension of face-covering rules. Phase 4 is paused. Most questions were measured and noteworthy was a restrained Baroness Davidson. Testing and quarantine were the main issues. The power grab via the Internal Market (Brexit) bill got us going though London media commentators ignored it. The threat to the Northern Irish protocol could just be a negotiation ploy but looking at the wide scope of powers being taken in the bill, the term ‘dictatorial’ isn’t out of place. Professor Linda Bauld was in the news having suggested that ‘social unrest’ might result from continuing lockdowns but Professor John Robertson disagrees. Professor Richard Murphy says “It’s not credible for the SNP to demand independence without a sovereign currency” and Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek Finance Minister, said on BBC News “Of course Scotland could be viable in the EU, but they need monetary independence too” Take your pick of Profs
3.1 Things Can Only Get Better3.2 Goodbye, England’s Rose3.3 Different ClassIn this episode, Emma and Chloe cross the Atlantic, moving on from ‘New Democrats’ to talk about ‘New Labour’. The 90s in Britain were a time when politicians, princesses, and pop stars promised modernisation of tired, worn-out traditions. But looking back on Tony Blair’s rise and the tragic death of Princess Di suggests not all was well beneath the surface of ‘Cool Britannia’. Chloe then goes on to explain why, in her opinion, some of the best explanations of what was really happening in Britain in the 90s came, in fact, from culture.Links and sources‘Blair aide asked Keating for hate lessons’, SBS, 23 August 2013.http://.https:/www.sbs.com.au/news/blair-aide-asked-keating-for-hate-lessonsJonathan Davis, ‘History didn’t end with the fall of the Berlin Wall – but only now is the new battleground clear’, The Conversation, 7 November 2019.https://theconversation.com/history-didnt-end-with-the-fall-of-the-berlin-wall-but-only-now-is-the-new-battleground-clear-125768Noel Gallagher on *that* visit to Downing Street‘Tony Blair told Princess Diana her relationship with Dodi Fayed was a problem’, Guardian, 1 September 2010.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/sep/01/tony-blair-diana-relationship-fayedThomas Dixon, ‘History in British Tears’, The History of Emotions Blog, 10 September 2015.https://emotionsblog.history.qmul.ac.uk/2015/09/weeping-britannia/Hilary Mantel, ‘Royal Bodies’, London Review of Books, 21 February 2013.https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v35/n04/hilary-mantel/royal-bodies‘Greek finance minister responds to claim that wife was inspiration behind Pulp hit’, Guardian, 12 May 2015.https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/12/greek-finance-minister-responds-claim-wife-inspiration-pulp-common-peopleOwen Hatherley, ‘Pulp matter more than ever in today’s cowed cultural landscape’, Guardian, 15 June 2011.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/jun/14/pulp-festivalsOwen Hatherley, Uncommon: An Essay on Pulp, Zero Books, 2011.And one video on Princess Di conspiracy theorieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I38T7_uLio0Common People by PulpWritten by: Jarvis Cocker, Nick Banks, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell SeniorCocaine Socialism by PulpWritten by: Jarvis Cocker, Nick Banks, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior, Mark Webber and Antony GennTony Blair ‘Windfall Tax’ excerpt from UK ParliamentQueen Elizabeth II ‘Death of Princess Diana’ excerpt from AP ArchivesNoel Gallagher ‘Downing Street Part Invitation’ excerpt from kinoLibrary at www.knolibrary.com Clip Ref DW022092Tony Blair ‘Sinn Fein’ excerpt from UK ParliamentTony Blair ‘The People’s Princess’ excerpt from AP ArchivesQueen Elizabeth II ‘Annus Horribilis Speech’ from ITN Source

Accent Reduction is one of the biggest challenges for people of different cultural backgrounds and speech patterns, wanting to 'fit in' among local native English speakers. But as Edwin Maher explains, accents can often enhance a person's vocal delivery. For those who want to indulge in some fine tuning, there's help in this episode of Speaking Naturally. You'll also hear reference to a BBC Hard Talk interview with former Greek Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis. The link is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cswj91
Is the left losing the political argument in Europe? Stephen Sackur speaks to Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s radical leftist finance minister at the height of the economic crisis, and an advocate of a new global progressive politics. The old certainties in European politics are crumbling. Voters seem fed up with the long established supremacy of the parties of centre right and centre left. The politics of identity and raw emotion have fuelled populist insurgencies from Italy to Sweden to eastern Europe. Mostly it’s the right, not the left in the ascendant. (Photo: Yanis Varoufakis.
