Bolton: We need to keep threatening people that we'll punch them in the face. Veroufakis: You've already punched certain groups of people in the face...repeatedly!!! Subsequently, people behave quite badly and dysfunctionally when you punch them in the face. Perhaps, we need to find a way where we stop punching people in the face. Otherwise, you're stuck in a never ending conflict where possible progress is awlays stifled. Unless you're a large stock holder in defense contractors or a compete duplicitous psychopath, I fail to see how your argument is in any way functional. Bolton: But people behave badly when they're punched in the face. Therefore, we need to keep punching people in the face. Veroufakis: Idiot

Since George W Bush gained power and sought to exploit parts of the world for selfish advantage and limited use, Obama engaged in arrogant "nation-building" while ignoring the complexity of Arab societies(also sending drones to attack families around the globe and spying on Americans), and Trump going around embarrassing everything American in my mind are part of what taint the water and cause rage in the world towards John Bolton.

Being "notable" is a curious and lazy proxy to measure the merit of one's arguments. It’s a pretty low bar for “proof.” I’m not sure I would even call it “evidence”-perhaps “suggestion,” “indication,” or just “hint.” If two notable people disagree, how do you decide between them? Hopefully by the evidence, or if too complex, deferral to someone who has established their willingness to pore through the evidence. Or have you not pushed yourself enough in becoming informed to notice how much that happens? Such a proxy is a little like Trump measuring the value of someone's intellect or of their ideas by how much they're on TV, or of Bush basing his decision as to whether intel is merely bureaucratic CYA or desperately important on how sheepish and apologetic the message boy was who disturbed him during his vacation. I don't pick my religion based on which one is most popular in the city I grew up in. Do you? Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, but populism gives it a run for its money. To Varoufakis's credit, he contrasts the quality of Marx's observations with the feebleness of his remedies. However, in his impressionistic way of speaking, he indulges in upvote-winning bashing of the most powerful country (for now; it's nothing new--Britain got the lion's share of criticism when its empire saw no sunset) in the same way Bolton is alleged by several commenters here to simplistically demonize the four main adversaries of NATO and the Pacific Rim. Bolton speaks of mutually beneficial trade what Varoufakis tries to frame as a zero-sum game. I'm having the same response to him as I did to Rush Limbaugh: buying one of his books to find out how careful his arguments really are.

It was quite surprising to read the comments, after watching this “debate”, in which i wasn’t expecting such a unanimous recognition that Varufakis swept the floor with an ivy league grad. BTW if The Holberg Prize really wants to organize such events in the future then it should reexamine the format it implemented for this “debate”. If it is called a debate then allow the debaters to “go at each other”. Perhaps the current format was a way to draw attention away from the fact that they invited one “debater” who is from the heavyweight category while the other is in the flyweight.

Dollar is form of colonisation, assuming inadvertently, and this has to be changed. Bolton is so painful to listen to- he is so light on specifics - and attitude wise belongs to dark ages. Amazed he led US on some fronts. The moderator is so skewed towards Bolton- thanks to Yanis for making this video watchable.

Bolton was on the attack mode Varoufakis was on a diplomatic mode. Throughout the debate on a few occasions the professor had to educate the ambassador on history. Yanis Varoufakis ad a better understanding of global issues and solutions. The US could regain its global positive influence by readopting the Breton woods program that it managed so well after the war. Everyone would win.

And any state that have tried marxism in the last 100 yrs have failed and ppl got out of them if they could. If marxism is so great why do they always need to keep their ppl in with the force of guns, while western liberal capitalism need to keep ppl OUT with guns. Maybe you should think of that.

I'd be entirely content for his ideas to be prosecuted and evicted from the US's political idea-space.

14:40 "The rogue states of the world... The troublemakers" I wonder if the US would fall into this category? Was the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses conducive towards global stability? The biggest elephant in the room of this entire 2.5hr discussion: Does the US predeliction for military intervention present a threat to global security? Of course, this question is not suitable for polite society.

> He doesn’t recognise a Marxist analysis? It was an economic analysis. To be fair, there's a consensus in modern economics that marxist is an heterodox school of thought. (Theories from heterodox schools traditionally have a poor (and sometimes even inexistent) record when it comes to predictability.)

@@LuisRomeroLopez actually it is the consensus economics that has the worst record when it comes to predictability. The consensus is the consensus because it is the most politically palatable not because it has the best empirical evidence. If you have studied economics at an in depth level you will know that all of the schools have a mixed records on empirical evidence. The consensus schools focus on mathematical structure and solvability. Hence they come up with highly simplified yet still complicated mathematical models with terrible predictive accuracy. The heterodox schools focus on realism and complexity. Hence they propose complex models with no tractable mathematical form, from which they can only offer limited heuristic predictions.

That's false. > all of the schools have a mixed records on empirical evidence That's true, but not all of them are in the same level. > The heterodox schools focus on realism and complexity. Probably that's what followers of one or other heterodox school say, but focusing in social issues and dynamics might be a better description. (I think that even heterodox scholars like Kvangraven agree with this, but it has be mention that she seems to be so partial, that her definiton that doesn't consider austrian school as hetherodox) And probably that's why you see that many marxist are getting more into sociology that economy. (For me, Varoufakis seems to be more keynesian that marxist, but he kinda sound like one when he made an argument about happiness and existencial issues) > The consensus schools focus on mathematical structure and solvability. Half true, half false. You see: Austrians and marxist are the favorites of libertarians and (some) socialist respectively. The problem is that sometimes, one group seems to believe that economy reduces to microeconomics (you can guess wich one) while the other to macroeconomics. In a similar manner, the same group seems to forgot the mathematic aspect of economy while the other forgets about the human behavoir aspects. Going back to marxism and you commentary about who has the worst record on predictability... what do you think that one can seriously expect from a 150 year old theory that is pre neoclasical, pre marginalist, and has a simplified understanding of human behavoir? (Marx was a genius, but you will asking too much from him if you want his theory to hold to the standard used over 100 years after his time)

Ambassador Bolton brings back to me a very well cherished and popular Mexican actor nick-named Cantinflas. That actor had the amazing ability to talk, non stop, about something that was never clear, the same way many politicians speak to the masses. Nobody can really understand what they are saying, although they impress everybody by the way they master the language using terms that are not familiar to most. On the other hand we have Professor Varoufakis who is not only able to pinpoint reasons for what is happening, but to put a spin of how the empires work. Ambassador Bolton will always talk about the menace of the Russians and the Chinese and he is right. Besides, that's their only argument. For the first time since WW2 the American hegemony has been challenged by a different system, which today is able to respond military to the bulling of "the powerful" and at the same time becoming an unstoppable force. The options are there, as Varoufakis mentioned : these three superpowers come together or we all suffer the consequences. Greetings from Toronto.
