Yanis Varoufakis taught economics in Britain, Australia, and his home town of Athens, Greece. In 2015 he became part of the Greek government. After his resignation he remained deeply involved in European politics. This is an interview by Steve Paikin on Canadian public TV, on April 21, 2022. Paikin is host of TVO’s Public Affairs program, The Agenda, and a well known documentary producer.
Paikin also brought up the four hour documentary about Varoufakis just released in May 2022 under the title: In the Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis. The filmmaker Raoul Martinez says: “In this documentary Varoufakis raises urgent questions about where our civilization is headed and how power works at the highest levels. And he connects economic failure, globalization, democracy, fascism and the climate crisis.”
