Varoufakis - Capitalism Will Eat Democracy — Unless
We Speak Up
By Yanis Varoufakis -Ted Talk
Have
you wondered why politicians aren't what
they used to be, why governments seem unable
to solve real problems? Economist Yanis
Varoufakis, the former Minister of Finance
for Greece, says that it's because you can
be in politics today but not be in power —
because real power now belongs to those who
control the economy. He believes that the
mega-rich and corporations are cannibalizing
the political sphere, causing financial
crisis. In this talk, hear his dream for a
world in which capital and labor no longer
struggle against each other, "one that is
simultaneously libertarian, Marxist and
Keynesian."
