This week, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau take aim at two prevailing orthodoxies. Is the explosive AI boom really a bubble, or is the technology itself forcing a non-reversible shift away from capitalism and toward a new age of Techno-Feudalism? Plus, are Trump’s orders to sink Venezuelan boats and kill sailors really about a “War on Drugs,” or is that just a cynical cover story when what the administration really want from Venezuela is oil? And if the term “war crime” is wrong, should these acts be called something far more chilling: extrajudicial murder?
The Econoclasts is the podcast from UnHerd in which Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau each week pick pillars of the economic orthodoxy – so-called ‘settled facts’ – and shatter them. Why? Because, while they don’t always agree politically, they’re united in one conviction: the consensus is rotten and the establishment’s model is failing.
