Yanis Varoufakis: "Something HUGE is Happening in Europe..."

As global economic tensions rise and the balance of power shifts, how have Germany and the U.S. approached their roles in the world economy? Yanis Varoufakis delves into the complex relationship between these two giants, contrasting their economic strategies and outlooks.

In this thought-provoking analysis, Varoufakis explains why the U.S. was skeptical of the euro and how Germany’s focus on manufacturing, rather than macroeconomics, has left it vulnerable. He reveals how the U.S. has maintained global dominance through its monopoly on international payments, using the dollar as a tool to sustain power—even while running deficits. Through sharp insights, Varoufakis explores the lessons Germany failed to learn, and how America’s strategic thinking continues to shape the global order.
