Yanis Varoufakis is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. It's wonderful how he frames everything in terms of incentives and human psychology. It makes his thinking very clear and consistent. I'm tired of most modern economists who pretend that incentives and human psychology don't matter and who talk about everything in terms of cherry-picked models, manipulated formulas and statistics. Too many economists today are all smoke and mirrors; they never even try to explain why things are the way they are.

Of course as you stated the privileged wealthy often do take on political roles.

The last step in the lifecycle of money is taxation. Money printing must be offset by "burning" the money at the end of its journey from the Fed, the central banks, commercial banks, smaller banks, employer, wage earners, consumer goods producers, service providers, etc. If the money is not intelligently taxed back out of the system you will see inflation everywhere there is "too much money chasing too few goods." New housing and rent prices are high because hedge funds and wealthy individuals literally have too much money to spend on cash purchases, and workers are left with record debt, 30 year high interest rates, and historically depressed wages. Fiat currency has led to massive corruption where, as you said, the gains are privatized, the losses are socialized, and the tax system is rigged against the majority for the benefit of the few. It's unsustainable.

I have been watching our financial whizz for quite some time and this presentation was the finest appraisal of the present day corrupt world financial system. This what the world needs, people with absolute humanity to take us out of this mess we are in and trust you will continue in this vane to educate people to understand what their rights are and what we as citizens, to rightfully demand as to how our governments are managed. I am no way implying that is what you are doing but rather educating us to make our own decisions. I believe that as humanity and the intelligent ones on this biosphere, we cannot just capitulate and experience our dinosaur extinction moment or do we stand up to USELESS leaders and ask them to either start the war kill yourselves and we will repair this planet and return it to is former ancient glory where we all live in peace and harmony or GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY SO THAT WE CAN START THE REPAIRS NOW. PS. Thank you this energetic presentation and with absolute hope that we will find a mechanism whereby we can come together and give leadership to people to execute change in their countries and for everyone who live in it. WE MUST. What I experience in social media networks, there is more knowledge system within this group than the capacity of ALL governments put together Except 2

Social democracies of Northern and western Europe are simply superior societies based on nearly all obvectivr measures like life expectancy, violence, etc.

Yanis is one of the smartest European! He is absolutely correct about his estimate of van der Leyen and all the crime carried out by the European comission.

Hello Shane, Hello Yanis, thank you for this impressive lecture. That was a model for an interview, that would really deliver deep insight and a lot of things to chew on for quite a time! Greetings from a German, living in France and missing such kind of interviews on french and german "supreme" channels.

Excellent video! Such an in-depth discussion about a serious topic. Thank you!

Yanus speaks like a well written book. His books sound the way he speaks. A great communicator.

"Promises have been made that can't be kept" Poignant.

If you read the fine print of The Forbes 'Richest' list, it says right in the fine print they don't count bankers or royalty.

Really the question that NEEDS to be asked at this point in history: "what is money?". I dont think there is anyone alive that can answer that better than Yanis. All the other big name economists love to talk in circles and never come to a point about anything.

Loved this!!!❤ There is a new paradox I wish Yanis could discuss. Renewable energy solutions with seaweed batteries and new nano materials graphene can reinstall indigenous culture. Village prosperity Solar, sea water hydrogen. 20000 people colonize coastal desert territory with just $10000 could kick start this new economy. How humanity needs to move for climate emergency this great new frontier. Lithium from the seawater, sulfur from composted fish waste, carrageenan from seaweed makes lithium sulfur battery. A new micro grid circular economy. One village at a time bridges humanity

Yanis is a briliant man, but unwilling to draw real conclusions. Of course governments should take control of the banks, of course they should stop creating debt and start writing it off, of course capital should be redistributed toward the masses - but none of these things will be done. Therefore the question I would like to hear someone answer is what can we do to avoid anarchy, war, civil war, revolution and bodies hanging from lamp posts? Because that seems to be the default trajectory.

Dear Mr. Varoufakis, I thank you a lot for your stance for humanity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza

Excellent! The deceptively simple questions elicited fascinating answers - direct and beautifully illustrated. Funny too: “the European Union? I wish we had one…. How did the South Koreans manage to save their banks and get rid of their bankers? Those are powerful men! Answer from the president - ‘Easy. We called in the Marines!’” Noted!

Great conversation. Answered some of the questions I have been asking. This Yanis Varoufakis is astounding. His last statement is in total sync with me. Thankyou for all the effort and for putting it up.

I wish this man is the prime minister of my country. He should able to handle these big powers as they are playing their geopolitical games.

Splendid selection for a guest. One may not entirely agree with Mr. Varoufakis. He is however undoubtedly interesting and well versed in economics.👍

Indeed Yanis is right! The real stuff of life is to improve yourself, HUMANISM! Find out our limits our deep humanity and feel that we are all part of 1 universe unified.

This was a great conversation, thanks for this.

Yanis is a great academic and as a great academic has the talent of being able to rationalize complex topics with clear communication. Great interview! The biggest drama of all this is that currently socialism exists for the elites, which are constantly bailed out by the governments, the rest of the society lives under market rules and austerity. This will sink the so-called west if not addressed now, we are nearing the point of no return.

Mr Varoufakis you are a well read intelligent man. Thus it is interesting to listen to your arguments

It's concerning to see a growing sense of unease, of disenfranchisement, particularly amongst younger people developing across the world, mostly in 'the West. There are obvious indicators but perhaps the core issue exists at an existential level. Perhaps Yanis recognises this.

Great discussion Yanis and Shane. Thank you both. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Money is social relations of any kind, but mostly represents exploitative relations. Thanks Yanis for the poetic representation of money, yet realistic.

Informative discussion. I improved myself watching it.

Mr. Varoufakis sticks to a thinking process most of us continue to have; which is thinking in nation states or countries. In reality the financial system and economies are being controlled and destructed by private (central) banks, at least since WW1, being solidified at the end of WW2 through Breton Woods and the establishment of its controlling mechanism IMF, Worldbank, but also the Federal Reserve. The resulting debt-based banking system, being the biggest crime of the century, has enslaved all IMF-member states, thus nearly the planet as a whole. If anyone refused to comply, they just start to sanction them, inflict a regime change or induce a war. So, it doesn't make sense to point fingers at German or English banks, because they're owned by the same shareholders. There are 3 investment conglomerates controlling at least 2 times the global GDP. This is what we're dealing with, concentration and centralization of wealth, power and control. However, their system of enslavement came to an end in 2008 and saw its final collapse in September 2019 (repo-crash). That's why they came up with crisis after crisis, to be able to direct taxpayers' dollars to their pockets. "Climate" is the same story, funneling public money to their multi-nationals - socializing debt and capitalizing profits. The digitalization or digital concentration camps as I tend to call them, including digital IDs, QR-codes and CBDCs is their final goal to remain in power. The EU is a spin off of Wall Street and Washington and is doomed to fail, as long as they don't separate from the global banking mob. Russia, among others understood and took action. The solution is to build up decentralized, local banking systems, controlled by the people, to be able to hold people accountable. And that's exactly what's already happening. Because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Great podcast! Yanis is a gem. I would expand on the "Debt is a claim on future wealth " point by exploring what underpins all human wealth which is I suggest extraction of resources from the earth. Ultimately debt is a claim on future extraction. On a planet with finite resources, infinite debts can not be repaid by the earth system. When the earth system fails there will be no rolling it over. Any economic system which does not recognize its dependency on the eco-system that provides all the outputs and absorbs all it's waste is doomed to fail. Failure to live sustainably on your home planet is I suspect the true Great Filter.
