In this first episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk two failed economic orthodoxies shaping our world. First, they dismantle the narrative that Europe is helping Ukraine – and striking a powerful blow against Russia – by raiding Russia’s frozen assets. More than this being legally questionable, is it also economically and geopolitically self-defeating? Next, they expose the “battle” between central banks and anti-establishment crypto rebels as a false choice, revealing it as a dangerous illusion that serves the powerful. Far from being revolutionary, are stablecoins turbo-charging financial instability for the next global crash?
This is good stuff guys. I find Wolfgang is always interesting and cogent, but I even agreed with (some) of Yanis’ views. Looking forward to more! Very informative.
I agree. I really enjoy Wolfgang’s Unherd articles if for no other reason than they seem to be founded on common sense. I’m not sure I always agree with Yanis’s views, but he’s a great communicator.
I think this Econoclast show has the potential to be a real success.
Yes, excellent stuff.
