Description

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk dominant economic orthodoxies surrounding wealth taxes as a quick-fix silver bullet for inequality, expose how central bank policies and globalization are stripping nation-states of their democratic sovereignty, and reveal the grim economic stagnation, debt, and regulatory traps awaiting the UK should it attempt to rejoin the European Union.
