Yanis Varoufakis

America is going to the polls in a divisive election which will shape not only its only policies, but also global affairs.

Kamala Harris aims to uphold the course of the current administration, while Donald Trump eyes a return that could bring isolationism and a tougher stance on alliances. European leaders are watching closely, as the outcome will shape NATO, trade, and transatlantic security.

What are the implications of this election for Europe, the Middle East crisis, and beyond? How might Harris or Trump’s foreign policy reshape global events? And what could their campaigns reveal about America’s future—and the prospects for progressive causes worldwide?

Join Yanis Varoufakis, Rania Khalek (Lebanese-American writer, political activist and journalist at Breakthrough News), David Adler (Progressive International) and our host Mehran Khalili for this important discussion on the future of US politics. Tune in live and share your questions!

The world-famous economist and former Greek Finance Minister joins Ash Sarkar to argue that capitalism is dead and present a game-changing new paradigm: technofeudalism. The owners of big tech have become the world's feudal overlords—replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy, and rewrites the rules of global power. But as Varoufakis will also reveal, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison. Watch Ash and Yanis open your eyes to the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world
