Yanis Varoufakis on the Euro-Greek Crisis

Yanis Varoufakis has been in the media a fair bit recently given his academic status, clarity of thought and expression, and Greece's prominence in discussions of the financial crisis that has beset Europe.


In this interesting interview they cover the Greek situation, Euro politics and his three pronged solution to it all.

He discusses a topic that I've been meaning to cover in greater depth, which I'll do so in a future post, and that is the concept of national dignity - a different thing to terms you often hear such as national pride or nationalism.


Update: By the way, Yanis is a self described Marxist so it's a funny, old world when the crisis is so bad that Marxists and capitalists are lying in the same bed! I guess that in WW2 many partisan groups fighting with the Allies were also Communists and the need to fight against the common enemy brought them together.
