This episode of It’s Bloody Complicated is sure to be a can’t miss as listeners are joined by the incredible Yanis Varoufakis.
Across Europe a rubicon has been reached for the left. In Germany, the AfD now sit top of the opinion polls. In France, the National Rally lead polls for the next Presidential and legislative elections. In Italy, the Brothers of Italy party has governed since 2022 and show no sign of losing popularity. And here in the UK, the rise of Reform is all-too present.
As the former Minister of Finance in Greece, Yanis Varoufakis has a whole wealth of knowledge on getting the left into power and what to do when they get there. He has used this experience to forge a career in diagnosing the left’s future, including through his bestselling books, And The Weak Suffer What They Must?, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, Another Now: Dispatches From an Alternative Present and, most recently, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism.
Don’t miss out on this necessary conversation about the future of the European left and the rise of the right at home and on the continent between:
- Neal Lawson, Director of Compass
- Yanis Varoufakis, Economist and former Greek Minister of Finance
