Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E72: Yanis Varoufakis Answers Your Toughest Questions
Q: Should Greece ever consider leaving the EU, or is that a misreading of the union's future?
DiEM25 has suggested that Europe may need to democratize or risk disintegration; Greece staying within the EU should be paired with bold reform and democratic control over monetary and economic policy.
E72: Yanis Varoufakis Answers Your Toughest Questions
Q: Can the left win while appearing naive on security, or does the right's fear-based messaging win out?
The left must confront fear head-on with grounded analysis, showing that fear can be exploited to justify cuts and arms buildups, and promote concrete policies that address root causes without escalating conflict.
E72: Yanis Varoufakis Answers Your Toughest Questions
Q: Why has Tony Blair's intervention in the Labour Party been so confrontational, and what is the strategy for UK left?
Blair is seen as a liability by many in the left; the strategy is to critique past missteps, defend a socialist-influenced program, and support stronger, more independent leadership rather than rehashing Blair-era policies.
E72: Yanis Varoufakis Answers Your Toughest Questions
Q: First question on Julian Assange. Have you been in touch with him lately and how is he?
Yes, I've been in touch throughout his release; he's well and in a period of recovery, staying engaged and continuing to share insights, even from afar.
E67: Europe Has Become a War Project — Can It Be Stopped? | Yanis Varoufakis & Jeffrey Sachs
Q: Do you think Europe is reacting primarily to Russia, to uncertainty about the US, or to its own internal weakness?
Jeffrey Sachs assesses the Munich conference as pathetic, indicating a solipsistic value push toward war rather than meaningful dialogue.
