Missing Link to Yanis Varoufakis
KenFM-Interview von Dirk Pohlmann
KenFM, 2015
What's inside?
According to former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, the Eurogroup is a “democracy-free zone.”
Recommendation
In this interview, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis launches a scathing attack on Europe’s economic institutions. He likens the Troika – the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission – to an unelected neocolonial dictatorship. Varoufakis eloquently articulates the causes of the Greek economic tragedy and suggests reforms. While always politically neutral, getAbstract believes Varoufakis’s arguments will trigger essential discourse among economists and Europeans concerned about the euro zone’s future.
