51: Yanis Varoufakis – Dare to think: always speak your mind

Our guest today on Change Makers is former finance minister of Greece, economist and author, Yanis Varoufakis. His view on the current world order may be critical, but this is as much a story of romance as it is reproach. Yanis believes happiness, like love, can only truly be found when you are not seeking it, and that love is what makes life worth living. Yanis divides opinion like a lightning rod, as one of the leading thinkers and proponents of libertarian Marxism – an ideology that he says angers many libertarians and Marxists alike – but this is an interview you don’t want to miss. From his blueprint for ‘another now’, to why – as an avowed critic of the establishment – he entered political life, to his belief that Star Trek presents the ultimate model of Marxist ideals, no stone is left unturned.
