The economist Yanis Varoufakis found himself in the eye of the storm as Greece's Minister of Finance in 2015, at the height of the country's debt crisis. Now he reflects on his political awakenings and the women who influenced him in Raise Your Soul. It's a family story that starts in Egypt in the 1920s and traces Greece's tumultuous century through Nazi occupation, civil war, dictatorship, socialism and economic crisis. The historian Professor Mary Vincent focuses on the Spanish Civil War and has written about fascism, political violence and its impact on the people. She sees both similarities and stark differences between the Greek and Spanish Civil Wars and ponders the question of how global politics influence what happens in nation states.As a new translation of Thucydides's The History of the Peloponnesian War (by Robin Waterfield) is published, the classicist Professor Paul Cartledge explains why this ancient text has remained essential reading for military leaders and politicians for centuries. Thucydides's account of the war between Athens and Sparta that began in 431 BCE depicts the devastation of civil war and reflects on the nature of political power.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Long Reads: Portugal's Left in Retreat w/ Catarina Príncipe (Part 1)

Long Reads spoke to Yanis Varoufakis earlier in the year to mark the tenth anniversary of the Greek referendum on the austerity programs of the European Union. This week, we're going to be looking at another country that bore the brunt of Euro-austerity after the 2008 crash. Ten years ago, the Portuguese Socialist leader Antonio Costa formed a government with the support of two radical-left parties, the Left Bloc and the Communist Party. Costa's government appeared to be a success story for the European center left at a time when most of its parties were losing ground. Portugal also stood out as one of the few West European countries where the far right was still a marginal force. Costa's party increased their vote share in 2019 and he remained in office. In the election of 2022, the Portuguese Socialists even won an absolute majority. But Costa resigned as prime minister two years later and his party lost power after the fourth general election in less than a decade. Another general election this year was a disaster for the Socialist Party and the radical left. With just over 20 percent of the vote, the Socialists were now on a level footing with the far-right party Chega. The combined vote share for the Left Bloc and the Communist Party was less than a third of the figure from 2015. Our guest today for a conversation about the last decade of Portuguese politics is Catarina Príncipe. Catarina is a contributing editor for Jacobin and she co-edited the book Europe in Revolt. She's also an activist in the Left Bloc. This week's episode is the first of a two-part interview. Today we're going to cover the period from 2015 until the general election in 2022. Read Catarina's article “How Portugal's Right Won the Election” here: https://jacobin.com/2024/03/portugal-right-wing-chega-election Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's longform writers.

We bust the official myths, look at lessons learned, and spell out what activists across Europe must do next. If you missed the story: Greece elected the anti-austerity Syriza party in early 2015, with Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. After months of bruising talks with the European Central Bank, IMF and European Commission, the government put the creditors' terms to a 5 July referendum. Sixty two percent voted NO — but days later, Athens agreed to a third “bailout”, Yanis resigned, and Greece was locked into another cycle of cuts that to this day, it still hasn't escaped.  *** SPECIAL OFFER: Use code Storm25 to get 20% off the documentary we discuss in this video, In the Eye of the Storm! https://vimeo.com/ondemand/eyeofthestormenglish *** In this talk, we unpack the new six-part series In the Eye of the Storm – from secret Eurogroup recordings to the street-level activist energy in Athens – and draw fresh lessons on leverage, media war, plan B economics and movement discipline.

It was a week that brought the future of Greece and the Eurozone to the brink. Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending. Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece's young people were unemployed.The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels. He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece's biggest lender Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

It's now ten years since the people of Greece voted in a referendum on the austerity program of the European Union. The referendum was called by the government of Alexis Tsipras and his left-wing Syriza party after months of negotiations with the EU. It brought the attention of the world media to what was happening in Greece after years of economic crisis. To the surprise of many, there was a decisive 61 percent majority for the “no” side. But then, with bewildering speed, Tsipras signed up to a new austerity program that was more punitive than the one voters had rejected a few days earlier. The U-turn triggered the resignation of the Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. Yanis joins Long Reads for a discussion about the legacy of the 2015 referendum.

Israel's genocide in Gaza grinds on, while Israeli officials now signal they are “fully ready” to strike Iran—raising the risk of a regional firestorm. But within the EU, dissent is being crushed. In an unprecedented case, the EU has sanctioned one of its own citizens for being a journalist. http://red.media founder Hüseyin Doğru was targeted on behalf of Germany—for exposing Germany's complicity in the genocide in Palestine. No trial. No hearing. An extrajudicial punishment. The EU claims he “systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst a predominantly German audience.” In reality, his reporting focused on social protests across Germany and Europe—something that now appears to go too far for the so-called democratic powers in Berlin and Brussels. The listing followed http://red.media's exclusive coverage of Germany's brutal crackdown on pro-Palestinian students—and it forced the outlet to shut down. What does it mean when reporting on Gaza is reframed as extremism, and journalism itself becomes a sanctionable offense? Hüseyin Doğru joins Yanis Varoufakis to dissect Europe's widening assault on free speech, Germany's criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and how ordinary citizens can push back—before they too are silenced.

E55: Yanis Varoufakis in Conversation with Jeffrey Sachs on the Six Global Crises Confronting Humanity

Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis worked together a decade ago to prevent Europe from harming itself by crushing Greece. They failed. Since then, Europe's self-harming policies exacerbated by a lethal dependence on, and servility to, the US have had nasty repercussions for Ukraine, Palestine as well as Europe's relations with China. Now that Trump is back, with Europe's Green Deal already abandoned, the world is facing the perfect storm: intense trade (and thus class) wars, a mounting Cold War with China, an ultra-hot war in Ukraine, a heart-wrenching genocide in Palestine, and an accelerating climate emergency.  In this episode, Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis get back together again to reminisce, to take stock of a world spinning out of control and, crucially, to propose tangible solutions that we must campaign for today.

Każdy słuchacz i słuchaczka podcastu "Techstorie" doskonale wie, że technologie rządzą światem i meblują nam rzeczywistość według swoich upodobań. A w tym odcinku omawiamy książki, które z różnych perspektyw tę kwestię opisują. Obie zostały napisane przez bardzo ciekawe osobistości. Autorem pierwszej jest były minister finansów Grecji. Polityk, który do życia publicznego wszedł z gamedevu, bo wcześniej tworzył podwaliny systemów ekonomicznych w grach takich jak "Counter Strike: Global Offensive" czy "Dota 2". Ekspert ten twierdzi, że żyjemy w świecie postkapitalizmu, w którym zasady gry ustalane są nie przez państwa, lecz przez korporacje. A drugą napisał człowiek, który ma licencjat z filozofii, dyplom prawniczy i doktorat z neoklasycznej teorii społecznej. Do tego szefuje jednej z bardziej wpływowych, ale wciąż trzymających się w cieniu spółek technologicznych w USA, która ma bliskie związki z Pentagonem i CIA. OMAWIANE KSIĄŻKI: “Technofeudalizm.

Is this a legitimate ruling — or lawfare: the weaponisation of the legal system to block political opponents? Join Yanis Varoufakis, award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, and Jacobin's Europe editor David Broder for a live discussion hosted by Mehran Khalili.  We'll break down the Le Pen ruling, look at how courts are used to sideline opposition figures in Europe and beyond, and ask: Does barring candidates actually strengthen the far right? Is lawfare becoming the establishment's go-to tool to silence dissent? And if we don't challenge it now, what comes next?

Happy Friday! Sam and Emma chat with Ryan Grim, reporter at and co-founder of Drop Site News, co-host of Counter Points, to round up the week. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's tariff flip-flops, Elon Musk's role in the Trump Administration, government job creation, the NLRB, Trump's federal fund freeze, GOP's surveilance state, US consulate shutdowns, the DOD's segregationist move, Elon's rocket fiascos, the CDC's measles rehires, TSA labor rights, and Democratic Leadership's anger over… protests against Trump? They also touch on Trump's complete confusion over fundamental immigration law amid another authoritarian power trip. Ryan Grim then joins, as he, Sam, and Emma first attempt to tackle the insanity of Trump's nonsensical economic agenda grounded in... repeated but (so far) brief stints of tariffs against our closest trade partners, looking to Greek Economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis' attempt to define Trump's economic ideology by its desire to spur US exports via economic turmoil and dollar depreciation, with this ongoing tariff war against Canada and Mexico supposedly serving to show Europe we mean business… despite it obviously making the agenda (and the man pushing it) look unserious, weak, and ineffective. After briefly touching on the possibility of this tariff scheme to serve as an repeatable pump-and-dump scam, Grim and the MR Crew dive deep into Joe Rogan's Billionaire Experience podcast, as they assess the ridiculousness of the blatant lies and wild conspiracy spread by Joe's Big Tech buddies, attacking everything from the CFPB to Frank Zappa, before shifting to some hope-inspiring GOP infighting as Elon Musk's path-of-destruction begins to haunt the cabinet faithful carrying out his orders. Wrapping up, Ryan, Sam, and Emma look to the ongoing struggle of Democratic leadership to act like an opposition party, and explore the potential of an actual challenge to the Democratic establishment. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle Al Green's killer appearance on Democracy Now! in the wake of his across-the-aisle censuring over his protest of Trump's speech to a joint Congress, and parse through the stupidity of right-wing grifters who still can't grasp the concept of taxation. Mr. Flamboyant from Sonoma County unpacks Dem messaging, Rusty from Sacramento on Rep. Ami Bera's vote to censure Al Green, Patricia from Central Coast discusses the GOP's commitment to Musk's money, and Owen, the final California caller of the day, explores pressuring progressive Dems on challenging leadership. Ben Shapiro tries to find an expired culture war to revamp his relevancy, Caleb from Arkansas touches on community gardening and mutual aid, and Misty from Washington talks about Bernie's online influence and that pesky issue of Dem messaging, plus, your calls and IMs!

Yascha Mounk and Yanis Varoufakis discuss whether the dominance of large cloud-focused tech companies signals the arrival of a new economic order. Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, politician, and the former Greek Minister of Finance. Varoufakis is the author of Another Now: Dispatches from an Alternative Present and Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Yanis Varoufakis discuss whether the extraction of "cloud rent" by Big Tech heralds a return to an earlier, pre-capitalist form of commerce; the technological and economic future of Europe (and of the European Union); and the geopolitics of a new cold war between China and the United States.
