Drixidamus Yang would be unable to defeat Trump, plus he’s out. If you honestly care about challenging entrenched neoliberal establishment politics consider a vote for Bernie please-both Yanis and Zizek consider his movement a living miracle. Plus Yanis and Sanders started the Progressive International together in a joint effort to stop the rising global wave of nationalist authoritarianism that has emerged from the cess pool of financial (rentier) capitalism. Your support of Yang still makes you a friend in my book, but we need to change the system and a bandaid of welfare over a gushing wound won’t do.

David Carlyon For the primitive the act of sharing appears to lead to a loss, but for any knowledgeable and intelligent human the act of sharing is the basis for growth. The way society works right now is on par with a body who’s cells are each for itself, holding cancer as their ultimate aim. What we fail to see is that this situation is prejudicing all individuals including those who are in the top 1%. "You might say that there are exceptions, as a wealthy individual has the best possible of lives under any social surroundings. This is true, granting that it’s a very ignorant individual, having more to do with an animal psyche than human. But if we take the bigger picture, we see that it’s not quite true after all! If people across the last thousand of years had been free, having access to a decent life and education, we would’ve had the computer, virtual reality or medical revolutions (and who knows what else) maybe 100 or 200 years earlier. This is true also for everything else, from making art to garbage disposal. The “blissful” life of any of today’s billionaires would seem a pale and short life, in comparison. And there would be a place and means for everybody because scientists say the laws of physics allow for unbelievable degrees of freedom in devising greater computing power per volume of matter, energy capturing technology, as well as energy efficient and nonpolluting technologies. Just think how much technology has changed in the last century. Another, more accelerated century of technological advance, and we’ll be nowhere close to “extract” the maximum out of the laws of nature! *So, any individual that thinks it has it all, is just like any nobleman from centuries ago that thought the same, without ever suspecting jet-skis, Ferraris, snowboarding, airplanes, internet, Oculus Rift, LSD, painkillers, antibiotics, kidney transplant or MRI machines."*

David Carlyon I’ve never quite agreed with this sentiment. Why should others get credit for some personal achievement? Yes of course my life was affected by countless others. My mother drove me to school, the road crews built those roads, etc. Does that mean they have a claim to my success? Were they not doing things they saw as value enough for themselves at the time? I wonder, when a great composer writes a masterpiece, is it really true the baker that provided his bread is somehow responsible for the great composition? I mean without his meals the composer would starve, right? I can’t get this connection. Why must the baker get credit for something he had nothing to do with? It’s the same for a business leader or inventor. You bet it took thousands working together to achieve the final product and change the world, the iPhone. But are we really saying this would have occurred without the direction of a Steve Jobs? Are we really to believe that he’s not to accept some acknowledgement that without his individuality Apple wouldn’t be what it is today? I guess I really struggle to think we shouldn’t celebrate individual ability and achievement but have to strip that away and say no, it’s not what you did but what everyone else allowed you to do, that but for us you’d be nothing. There’s something so ... so .... wrong about this. Yes Apple was a group effort, but come on without Jobs it wouldn’t have existed. Yes Chicago Bulls were any amazing team but come on without Michael Jordan it wouldn’t have been the team it was. And yes Gordon Ramsay had amazing opportunities and connections leading to his success, but come on do we think just any chef could have created the celebrity chef empire Ramsay did? At some point community be damned, these people deserve unilateral and total recognition for there extraordinary abilities and successes.

Even a guy like Zbignew Brzezinski called 2000-2008 a huge TRANSFER of wealth from the middle class & lower classes to the ultra wealthy few.

@Accelerationist I'm not attacking you personally, and of course you're free to offer your thoughts in more detail. Capitalists get huge portions--sometimes the total portion--of their wealth through ownership rather than labour, then stash it in offshore tax havens, so I'm pretty critical of the slogan that taxing them to help pay for programs for people who work for a living is stealing "other people's money." With that said, YV has always focused more on worker democracy than just redistributed wealth. I think that's a fair topic in keeping with the liberal tradition and pretty far removed from Stalinism.

@theicyridge

@Accelerationist that can certainly be debated. Back in the age of classical economics for instance, almost all the taxes were levied on the super rich. During the first world war, the top 1% of the US paid 8-% of the taxes. Generally the public is ok with taxes as long as they're progressive and transparent--very high approval ratings in Scandinavian countries for instance, and while Adam Smith was in favour of "easy taxes" he wasn't against taxes whole scale--but there's more than one way to approach them to be sure.

I am happy that the internet and this form of social media exists, so that we're able to enjoy such a wonderful exposition of ideas and opinions from such accomplished people. My one disappointment was the outmoded understanding regarding nuclear power. High pressure, water cooled, plutonium reactors (what people associate with _nuclear_) are not safe or efficient but in wide use mainly due to political reasons. Options such as molten salt thorium reactors are safe by design and could satisfy the power needs of the planet into the foreseeable future with costs so low an economic revolution would be inevitable. That's a radical change I'd love to hear these two discuss: the social, economic and political impact of basically free, clean, unlimited power worldwide. The mind boggles...

Always refreshing to hear Yanis & Brian share their cognitive interpretations.

I am 100% with Varufakis in this interview!!

GREAT MODERATOR! OMG! The Best Intro ❤❤❤

Right... steel production does not need to be privatized and can operate at a loss forever without hurting anything

Yanis is an absolute beast.

Very interesting hearing Yanis mention Citizens Assemblys many times. The last time there was a financial crash, Irish version 2008/12, I joined a small civil society org called the 2nd Republic and one the key successes was our drafting of our document 'Citizens Assembly for Political Reform in Ireland'. This was shared with the then Irish government in 2012 and while I would not say that it was because of us that the Constitutional Convention came into being from 2013 onwards but we definitely played a small part in guiding the new government at that time to do something. Repealing the 8th Referendum (female reproductive rights restrictions) and the Equal Marriage Rights referendum (LGBTI marriage rights) came from that journey. So all I'm saying is that Citizens Assemblies as a model can and does work. A copy of our document is available on request. Right now I am in Iraq in complete lockdown because of the COVID19 thing so I have probably more time on my hands than planned and thats why I was watching this video and here we are today. Stay safe and stay healthy folks.

I have some knowledge about the difference between bullshit economics vs real economics from people like Yanis, like Warren Mosler, like Stephanie Kelton (one of Bernie's advisors), Steve Keen, many other post-Keynesians, reformers of economic theory as well as policy. Yet I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO REALLY MAKE SOUND POLICY. William A. Black has written and spoken and testified to Congress about CEO-driven corporate fraud that was an epidemic in the 2000s. He had the knowledge & insight & skills to regulate/prosecute white collar crime, put 1000 of the worst in prison on the Savings & Loan collapse. Same for internet. Average people think Al Gore lied about "creating the internet" when he told the truth about creating the commercial internet by privatizing the tech developments of the military, of the Cold War, hardened communication channels. So people argued that Net Neutrally was a "communist" govt takeover of the internet. Ordinary people don't have a lot of insight or understanding, even basic online security. People don't understand IP addresses or subnetting for security via isolation, or routers or other basics. People don't understand that nuclear isn't Hiroshima, nuclear isn't Chernobyl, safe designs, breeders reactors that devour all the radioactive fuel instead of calling it waste, safer history than coal, etc. Most people are uncurious and emotional/irrational.

KZread doesn't allow leftist ideology to grow at an accelerated rate.

The only point I cannot swallow as made by Mr. Varoufakis, as I have personally lived it, is that of "standing in the shoes" of those who voted for Trump. I am still "wearing the same shoes" as those disenfranchised folks, because I'm one of them. Blue-collar, Midwestern America is where I reside and work. I detested the Idiot Boy when he was flaunting his garish/glutinous lifestyle on any surface or screen which would project it, since I was in high school and beyond. Placing him in the White House was not only the most destructive idea on the planet, to me, yet the most irresponsible and lazy. Those still white-knuckling it as they hang on . . . certainly deserve pity, but not compassion. It is each of our responsibility to put forth the effort we feel necessary to shape our personal and public lives. There is an undercurrent which few bring to light on this topic of displacement, and it is indeed the elephant in the room. Myself and many of my (still) close friends have witnessed the absolute panic which arose when Barack Obama was elected--twice. If nothing else (as I did not vote for him either; full disclosure), he was an excellent filter for what was to come. The only positive thing I will ever have to say about the Trump "reign" is that it slapped me in the face and shoved me into action. Thanks--I needed that. Overall, I appreciate this discussion and will avidly continue to follow both of these outspoken gentleman in the future, ironically using the platform of FB and/or the origin of KZread videos (among others) to help discount and erode any capitalistic monopolies to the best of my persistent, if not limited ability. #videoshared

Steel contains less than 2.1% carbon: some steels much less than that. Steel is made by removing carbon. 100% would have excellent mechanical properties, but is expensive to make. It is a minor point, but it makes it difficult to take him seriously, if he starts with such a muddled and wrong statement. (Did he mean take pig iron and reduce the amount of carbon in it?)

One small issue is that you are trying to solve economic problems that money-based capitalist system inherently carries with it, using another money-based system like socialist economy or publicly owned money and wealth system of economy; hence we will still end up with money-based social problems.

Also, UBI requires taxation, and taxation is theft - the act of involuntarily ceasing someone's justly acquired private property -, and theft is immoral, since it violates universality and therefore Aristotle's axiom of Non-Contradiction, hence UBI is incompatible with UPB, so that I'd beg to differ with these two plonkers on UBI.

The semantics really matter in this case. If apartheid is taken to mean segregation imposed by the state - which has a monopoly on the initiation of violence - upon involuntary 'subjects', viz. the citizenry composed of individuals whose liberties are being curtailed in the name of 'the common good' or some bullshit, then it's an obvious smash-dunk moral evil. If, however, apartheid is taken to mean segregation brought about through the voluntary, non-coërsive free association of willing men and women of any given race, sex, ethnicity, culture or religion into homogeneous neighbourhoods, sports clubs, enterprises or other aggregations of people, then it's a blatant moral good.

Genuinely curious, could you elaborate on this slightly? Like is a worker "paid" through shares that equals the value they created? And is it a form of A.I that calculates this value? And how does someone "spend" what they have earned to purchase goods they want?

So the worker gets paid according to a comparison to the value of his/her output in direct relation to the amount of goods or services provided ? Sounds fair.

5:15 "If you take 100% iron, that's something that's brittle, heavy and so on. If you add 4% of carbon to it, you get something called steel." This makes me cringe. Pure iron is soft and formable, not at all brittle. Carbon steel contains 0.005% to 2.14% carbon and is generally harder and more brittle the more carbon it contains (heat treatment also plays a crucial role). Adding 4% will not result in steel, but in white cast iron, which is very hard and brittle. 4% is much more carbon than is soluble in the iron during solidification, leading to precipitation of coarse iron-carbide.

I would love to see a 'Forum of future Economics', doing a roadshow around Europe.... with Yanis Varoufakis, Charles Eisenstein ~ (Sacred Economics), Ben Dyson ~ (Positive Money) Bernd Hückstädt ~ ( Gradido) Anand Giridharadas ~ ..... Using the inspired vision of these (and others), could we create a truly abundant and sustainable economy. * Certainly, a form of Direct Democracy is the key to solving the impossible-to-solve problems that are part and parcel of Representative Democracy (which is way past its sell-by date) along with the over-administered EU...and the banking industry. I have no doubt that Direct Democracy is the next step in our political evolution.

The only I hear in this..is a lot of symptoms on the problem that most countries don´t have a real democratic system ( like the one they have in Switzerland) were elit, politic and administration are forced to follow and protect the individuals choise´s, right´s and asset´s...instead of be a corrupt superior cancer on them….

Knowing most of the ideas of Yanis, I wonder how he resists to manifest determinism.

When people use analogies like “sloshing around” to describe money were all being mislead as to what money is, does and its very nature. Money is numbers. Numbers dont slosh like water, they dont pile up like stuff or things, numbers are concepts or ideas (like our names) which exist as mental categories but not in physical reality. Numbers dont weigh anything, they dont take up space, they are not subject to the laws of physics only the laws of mathematics. Therefore physical analogies mislead us as to what money is and where it ‘exists’.

I would suggest that, essentially, money, finance and economics is just an idea that has been adopted as a structure which was originally used as a means of exchange. Unfortunately, the concept lost it's way into a reality where people view money in terms of personal success and failure within a social system that flogs competition as it's raison d'etre. It always astonishes me how aggressively some folk react when told money isn't real, it's just an idea that was thought up and adopted. To put it in it's place, I would suggest that to have an idea is an act of creativity, to be an idea is an act of insanity.

Money does slosh, because traders change their behavior on whether to buy or sell based on previous bids and ask prices. These "numbers" don't exist in a purely fixed state and position. There's unrealized pressures and then tipping points. That's as sloshy as it gets.

Paraphrase Brian, "...Credit & reward the individual, rather than the many..." I agree Brian, society loves using the individual as a meta tag, both positive & negative... Look at the Noble prize allocation these last 20 years, they no longer go to individuals, times... they are changing. I’m closer to Brian than Yanis, I favour Data over Human instinct, Democracy is not our saviour, I am though onboard with the engagement of the people & the socialist concept of ‘commons’, I would favour fact (data) over belief (instinct). Data before Democracy. Responsibility before Freedom. Yanis you still have humanity at the centre of your maths, the universe lives there, we come in at a higher subservient level.. You may want to start by relabelling your ‘Green Initiative’, ‘Universal Initiative’ is in more appropriate, greater understanding of the universe is the real driver, the climate change element to this restructuring is a subset & at best 30% of the driving force.

Democracy in Athens was started largely thanks to the philosopher and politician Pericles. He dominated Athenian politics and ruled by wise influence and negotiation. Pericles believed that all citizens should partake in government and was the first to offer a stipend to men in office. This action allowed any citizen to be involved, regardless of their economic standing. Democracy in Athens was a direct democracy. In a direct democracy the people decide on the policy initiatives directly. The major decisions of the state were made by general assemblies in which all citizens could participate. To call today’s democratic system democracies is silly. No participation by citizens in decisions just by business and rich people and organisations so it should be renamed to reflect what a system should be called that’s for business the rich people and organisations that buy politicians. I think it’s what was in place before democracy was proposed by philosophers. Think of the jury system. Citizens can make decisions on criminals’ charges but not on policies and legislation that effects their lives and futures?????
