Filmed in 2022, I was thrilled to be joined by Yanis Varoufakis, globally recognized economist, and former Greek finance minister, famously known as the “rockstar politician who challenged the EU.”

As voters across various countries prepare to make crucial decisions, Varoufakis's perspectives on economic justice and democratic reform provide valuable context and food for thought.

Listen as we dive into:

  1. My fanboy experience watching Yanis during the economic crisis.
  2. Why Yanis refused to play political games.
  3. The crucial role of debt in capitalism and why banks want to keep you indebted.
  4. Comparing feudalism and capitalism.
  5. Yanis’s captivating history lesson on the economic collapse.
  6. How 2008 marked the death of capitalism.
  7. The illusion of money and its diminishing usefulness.
  8. COVID-19's impact on global economic mismanagement.
  9. Who really controls the Federal Reserve?
  10. The challenging future facing younger generations.
  11. The importance of avoiding predictions.
  12. Wise advice from Yanis’s father on true value.
  13. The lack of safe havens in today’s world.
  14. Insights from "Another Now" on a better future system.
  15. The creative freedom of writing a novel.
  16. Why banks don’t belong in a utopian financial system.
  17. The true potential of blockchain beyond Bitcoin.
