I love this man
God bless the people . Peace
Following this Man since 2015.
He's Brilliant. Honest
I hope we haven't seen the last of this brilliant man.
Fantastic. Varoufakis is a man of style and substance.
great man
You have my votes, mr Varoufakis! May your country will be prosperous again. Greece is going to very difficult times. The EU should work together with you for a reasonable solution. All the best for Greece.
Greeks-the Light of the World.
💫
Mr Varoufakis looks like a New Greek God. High IQ AND EQ 👈 Very Honest and Strong Person.
🌍
PS; I Love Greece 💕
He is an expert in algorithmic game theory - I think he knows how to negotiate debt repayment. I praise his efforts in leaving it till late to strike a deal, in order to create urgency in German creditors and member states of Eurozone. Very, very intelligent man and a progressive government.

great, so great yanis.we love you!!!!! thank you so much!
2:13 "Save us no more." - that's a great one. "Saving", in this sense, has become a complete contradiction, just like "bringing freedom and democracy" to the Middle East. As far as Yanis Varoufakis goes, I've never heard more logic and common sense from any politician or economist. I sincerely hope he manages to beat some sense into stubborn and/or corrupt politicians in other EU countries, including my own.
why don't these news items have a broadcast date???
Dude almost got his name right in the end. Innocent times, when Mr varoufakis wasn't popular yet
The Legends Of Greece Are Real
Go, Greece, go…
Don’t look back, go…
You just left behind Medusa’s head.
Now hurry up reach Prometheus’ fire,
He is still chained on Caucasus Mountains.
If you need wise words, go see Socrates,
You may find him on top of seven mountains in the island of Cyprus,
Out of where he still teaches the nations.
From there you are half way to meet Alexander,
He suggested - you should meet with Zeus, later.
Wait, I hear Aphrodite’s laughter,
She sings, “My Love for you Greece is on real fire”.
Whom are you kidding - Oracles of Apollo?
Look, they are melting down from the sky,
One after another finishing the dance of divine,
Whispering in a barely audible voice -
“From Greece will be seen the paradise”.

Lyudmilla Stepanian greece needs to read the orthodox faith not the ancient myths...greece is going down cause it lost its soul
pgroove163 Ha...ha...ha... Surely you don't expect me to believe that.
Every other nation has kept his soul except Greece? Ha...ha...ha... Say something we can believe in.
thats ok don't believe it.. it's your right..,but there are no nations who have kept their soul..thats the problem..man is in freefall ..no amount of $$ or power will stop it...greece is orthodox..its faith is based on this...thats how they survived being conquered by the turks..faith and love ....
Go ahead! The Christian's stole everything from alive ancient Greece..Jesus did the same...to love anyone isn't Christian but they take it from philosoph theacher Hilon the Spartian...
@@pgroove163 please. what do you expect from a professor??. varoufakis was a professor in his twenties in england australia, greece, then in usa. he is one of the smartest humans in the world, and i study him cause greece is my enemy and i know my enemies better than they know themselves. and the thing is that i will not let him execute his plans about europe and greece, he will find my empire against him and offcourse germany and Turkia will not let him do nothing.. you think one person can mess with two big countries like germany my biggest allie and my Turkish empire? hahahaha thats a joke.. wait and u will see we will stop greece with the help of germany like we did a couple of years ago with economic crisis and my dear and always faithfull to my empire my dear angela merkel and the german people.. goodnight and enjoy what happens. and i recommend you to stay christian faith in greece this is how i want you its good for me to be like this. and i suggest to smash all the greeks that believe in the ancient olympian gods cause i see alot of videos of them wearing ancient clothes and honor the ancient temples, i will not allowed you to do that you lame greeks, stop the all those greeks how honor ancient gods.. that is the past listen to me or i make u suffer
Wish he took the lead ...... he is clear honest straightforward he is for the people
so cool video
BUT, DAYUM, HE'S ***HOT***!!!
The three steps of Europe's reformation:
1. Unify Eurpe's banking sector and recapitilize banks forcefully
2. Centralize large part of euro zone's public data via the European Central Bank
3. Use the European Investment Bank to shift idle savings in protected investments in the counties that need it the most.
Qasam Wahid "We" Do you represent a specific party or country? I bet you dont even know what economy's definition is. Go google it...
Yh the United Kingdom! Sooner you leave the EU the better!
Qasam Wahid
You are a muslim who represents UK? Let me laugh a bit...
+George Papageorgakis Thank you for showing everyone why Greeks are so behind the times. Half of london is owned by "Muslims." Keep begging for money though, its funny as hell.
Qasam Wahid Thanks for showing how smart you people are. In addition thanks for saying that muslims "own" Londom. I bet you were also an illegal immigrant. Good job. I cant wait for you people to declare UK as a muslim state. haha
Greece will recover, no matter if you agree or not. If you knew the basics of how banks work and what "money" is you wouldnt even make that shitty comments. Go back to your cave now orc...
yanis is a beast. i fucking love him
***** dude, this video is from 2012, he wasn't finance minister then, some emasculated servant was finance minister at that time
Jiannis baroufakis nice speech nice suggestion in Greece are those ideas unrealistic and
unenforceable,
Learn to write in english first......you are so ignorant you can't even conceive what Varoufakis says !
I KNOW what varoufakis has to say his economic plan has no effect in a society full of ignorants and retards Greece is far away from an industrial state beside the agrarian economy he has nothing more to offer so please shut the fuck up and continue study your communist manifest of a shame
It's also human nature to kill each other and shit on each other's property... Is Christos' home a defensible position? One way to find out...
He had to say his name twice and failed each time, come on now.

ergwer456245y34htfadf234 You're just angry because your side lost yesterday. The people won.
Viva Syriza!
Ezequiel Aguilar haha right. I'm solidly in the OXI side, mate. OXI!!
ergwer456245y34htfadf234 The comment was meant for Pierre S. I didn't appreciate his comment. Your youtube channel name is giving me dyslexia. It's your fault that I accidentally sent you that comment. Change that name. It's giving me eye problems as I write this.
The bubble has burst.
Yanis Varoufakis should be PM of England, better then Camoron.
8:17 unifying EU debt is not the answer it may fix the problem in the short term but it will create much bigger ones in the long term
What? Why?
Yeah! why can't they solve the crisis like the "united" states of murica and king-CONNED-om?
There are only three agents who can foot the bill of Greek debt: strained Greek taxpayers, European and German taxpayers, and creditors insofar as they don’t get paid.
1. If the Greek people are already strained, by definition they cannot foot the entire bill. Debt restructuring rather than a write-off simply means mortgaging the future and shifting the burden to the young and unborn.
2. Any European and German contributions must go to either the Greek people or to creditors. i) If they go to the Greek people, they are a form of simple and direct income redistribution. ii) If they go to creditors they are a form of negative social redistribution -from the haves to the have nots.
3. To say that no part of the debt can be written off is to say that i) creditors will not contribute to the solution, ii) creditors must enjoy risk-free investments …even if they demand hefty interest rates. Excluding debt write-offs thus presumes privatizing the benefits while socializing the cost. The moral as well as economic basis for this remains to be shown.
Sharing the problem three ways by definition implies writing off part of the debt, whether European and German taxpayers send their money either to Greeks or to the creditors.
his plan sounds fine, but reforms need to happen BEFORE it is implemented.
Thou Art That Germany and the eurocore won't accept this. They want a supremacist position.
ergwer456245y34htfadf234 they want a viable future for europe.
...and that means reform [cause we can't borrow and spend beyond our means forever]
Thou Art That nah, viable can mean many things. A Greece condemned to have eternal 100%+ GDP debt and high corporate taxes to make it uncompetitive for industry, it's fine for Germany.
This way they get the high value-added economy and Greece stays focused in tourism and hospitality, specialized agriculture and so on, with just about enough to consume their products, and cheap enough for Germans to get their asses wiped in Greece when they are old. Oh, and the brilliant young P.I.G.S. can work in the Blue Banana, contributing to this statu quo.
why does greece have to stay focused on a low value-added economy? that's up to the greeks to change, it will take decades and first they have to reform.
[isn't it the communists/leftists that want to tax/overtax business?]
I so rarely get to say this, but boy did Jon Snow make a pig out of saying Varoufakis' name! Take two buddy!
Siriza chickened out and varoufakis really couldn't make them do what he was put there to do.
Democratizing Europe?! Really?! How will you do such a fantastic thing when you can't get your own party's members to do what everyone in the world thinks is right?
the problem is corruption. that solution you presented is just too idealistic. wouldn't work in real world.
you can't help a country who's mindset is to get something for nothing.
Sorry Greece.
This so-called economist may be part of the problem. Fundamentally, europeans have failed to create wealth by not producing the goods, providing the services and starting the businesses the world demands and thus fail to employ people at a reasonable wage. Politicians have over-regulated and can never inspire wealth-creation only stymie it.
It appears that in many ways we have lost the meaning and the principals upon which the European union was formed.
Very much agree that the poor performance of the Institution of Justice is critically responsible for many of Greece’s wows...
Principles....
varoufkkakis ahahahh wtf 9:23
I am a banker.. and I am a wanker.. and that is the way I like it.
Bankster love;)
only guy who has a clue socialist, capitalist whatever debts are unpayable fault of greece, goldman sachs, euro, germany, imf etc... but unpayable no less, default and leave is the best solution
So they want Greece out but Turkey in, mmm
It's funny how he asks the Germans what they think and they tell him for instance how Greece cheated their way into the Eurozone - no comment from him on that. He leaves out everything we know so far about why Greece is in such trouble now and has been for decades while Germany isn't.
Greece had never a plan how to work in steps it was like OK lets start and when we finished we are Greece has a social problem people are not Sirius enough to do right work to function like a modern society selfishness and egoisms are the big problems of Greek society and politics of course because the face of an society are the politicians they rule over you so please with communistic ideas you cant reform a bank a finance or any system start first from the basic reform the brains of the people.
CARPE DIEM! 25
Cool name war-o-fak-is :D
North Korean style tv
wat a hell are you talking about . europ don't need your advice man tall that to greek people
Very interesting Man. I recommend to read his Book " Adults in the Room " Eye opener.
Sorry Yanis, you lost me when your boss sold out the Greek people. Maybe that's why you quit, but whining about your country's predicament in the Graun is a classic sign of weakness. Expect to be screwed now - obviously studying game theory and knowing all about capitalism has taught you nothing, and that's a shame because you're obviously a nice man.
I think you don't understand it...
Greeks-the Light of the World. 💫
this whole video is a propaganda movie about varoufakis lol
***** butthurt :*?
Mia Wikström Shut up please... you dont have any clue about economics but you only listen to your damn TV.
*****

Med andra ord, du fattade inte ett ord av vad han sa.. Varoufakis är vad EU behöver om dom vill överleva decenniet.
