It’s so good to hear an economist telling the truth! I read economics at university 50 years ago and gave been appalled by the rubbish and lies that fall out of politicians mouths.

[@robertallen591]

the british need a comunicator like this,, a man who understands ecconomics and iniquality and till we find one the nation will continue the same failed economics leading to decline and eventual collapse

[@marianbonnetti7784]

Totally agree with Yanis, a fantastic and honest statesman

[@wallacewhybrow2705]

@marianbonnetti7784. A statesman whose home country ended up an economic basket case under his watch. Hmm?

[@esioanniannaho5939]

Wow he talks sense. ToryLite LP will be thrown out in the next GE but one. UK RiP.

[@josephgunnett7715]

When Yanis had his hands on the economic levers for Greece,I don't remember a favourable outcome.

[@kanjisan9965]

I don’t believe that there were any economic levers to pull.

[@lesliekirkland5783]

Well said Yanis. Tory and Labour are just two sides of the same coin. Don't listen to them, think for yourself.

[@spursgog835]

Interesting

[@xenasloan6859]

Isn't it horrible when someone talks such obvious sense

[@suzannaquigley7305]

Well said. One in four children in the UK goes hungry every day. You have working parents who have to go to food banks becsuse theire monthly salary does not cover food costs for theire own children. You have a massive housing crises and homeless children and parents. You have rents that are well above a average workers incomme. People in the UK live like in a third world country and the NHS the countries national pride has now a healthcare in total collaps. And the UK is a very wealthy European country but no politicians either on any side give a damn about the working poor, the average pensioneer, the school children in the national schools.etc. Theire own children goes to private schools.. The UK culture is a old cast system. You are either born in a cast or you are castless with not much human value in that society. Now the politics is mostly about sending off imegrants to Rwanda by force instead of doing somethibg about the very dysfunctional cast system that will remain no matter how many thousands of imegrants that will be sent out of the country. With Brexit now it is a crisis finding doctors and nurses who used to come from other countries. Same goes for hotells and restaurants workers. Since Brexit it has becomme very hard to employ foreign workers and get work permits. Also many students from the UK are now cut off from studies outside of the country. What do UK governments want? A small very rich and ageing population and the rest just rotting in poverty or fleeing the country?

If he is so great then why is he acting as a spokeman for the tories?

[@anthonyferris8912]

Thing is, Greece is in a much better place than when Yanis was holding the reins….

[@otg1433]

You talk like a philosopher even a guru...but what good did you do for Greece???? Talking is easy, real honest action is difficult....then there is no need to sit on the byline and pontificate and chatter....

[@ronventy798]

Exactly.

[@hughcaskey9542]

Varoufakis a true Englishman born and bred ????

[@ParanoidGoblinoid]

Why is this guy just talking loudly and without pause over the others? Is this a lecture or a speech?

[@orangetara4268]

This guy is one of the few who know what they are talking about, so listen & learn folks!

[@NosyFella]

The others aren't worth listening to

[@Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs.]

It's a personality trait he has been noted for in the past. During the Greek debt negotiations he infuriated the Central European finance ministers so much by doing it he destroyed whatever goodwill Greece had left remaining, which wasn't a great deal anyway. Was always going to be a bit of an uphill struggle to persuade them to bailout a country so it could have a better standard of living than them. Then "the master of game theory" utterly miscalculated the leverage Greece had over the Germans, not realising that the Germans had built up a firewall for its banks and didn't care if Greece defaulted or left the eurozone accordingly. So yet again that manner of his did him an utter disservice. He's clever undoubtedly, but his people skills are abysmal and have tripped him up more than once.

[@TheTwosliceToaster]

Because it works! His critics want to interrupt him because they don't like the corruption of this country having a spotlight shone on it, and he knows this. Why should they be allowed to interrupt him, when the stuff he's saying is what most politicians would be saying themselves if they weren't in the pockets of others? Very few people challenge the status quo of this messed up island. And he's not talking "loudly". He's talking forcefully, and making sure his points are heard and not trampled over by others. I wish we had more people like him in our politics. And what's wrong with giving a lecture? The state of this country makes it clear that it needs to be lectured.
