[Release date: February 15th, 2024.]
'In the Eye of the Storm' is a documentary series about the dramatic journey and inspiring vision of one of the foremost political figures of our age, the maverick Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis.
Opening with a whistleblowing account of his epic battle with the European Union, economist turned politician Yanis Varoufakis weaves a gripping narrative about the fate of our civilisation in this groundbreaking series, joining the dots between the spectre of fascism, the crisis of capitalism, and the historic climate challenge.

Mr Varoufakis is one of the last remaining (intellectual) heroes of our time. This show is a brilliant feast for the mind!
The whole series is brilliant. Well worth shelling out for it. Thanks Yanis. Thanks Raoul Martinez and all those involved in making a hugely interesting beautifully put together series.
where can I watch it?
The most charismatic, genious and idealistic character of our time. The only one greek politician I do respect and love sincerely! Thank you Yani for your efforts!
Yes, a very brave and strong man, he is making changes for the future, we just need to listen and act accordingly.
What changes is he making for the future? Keen to know so I can update myself

Great, Yanis!
I realised 10 seconds in the 2008 crisis never ended. We are still in that crisis
yep, yanis helped me realise that a couple months back also, so happy to be learning more about him, been listening to techno feudalism as an audiobook lately also - I think it's an incredible time when we can learn about these ideas in such a global way - wishing all of us well with our learning and organising in the coming years, long live critical thinking!

"This contrast is going to stay with me forever. And if i'm motivated by anything, it is by the disappointment and rage at the dying of that particular light, and an urgency to restore it." Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho! Um documentário importante e inspirador.

Fantastic, we need clarity on why the sudden departure as finance minister
This has been clarified long ago. There was a referendum (a vote) in Greece whether another "bailout" (followed by another massive load of austerity causing unemployment, reduced wages, reduced social services such as schools, hospitals, unemployment assistance, pensions (which people have already paid for) and etc) should be accepted to repay the creditors (the bankers) who undertook criminal actions to grow their compensations to astronomical levels. The bankers did that while completely over leveraging their banks (too much risk) so that even if a small amount of these debts defaulted (those who had these debts couldn't pay), the whole bank would be brought down as the bank doesnt have enough cash to cover even a small amount of the risk (defaults) they held. And the bankers did that because they knew the state would have no other choice but to bail them out, and they also knew that they wouldn't be prosecuted. That they would face no repercussions. So practically, the bankers were allowed to make an insane amount of money and let everyone else suffer (the system that we all live in - whether you live in the east, north, and etc, is unbelievably corrupt).
To put it simply, the vote was asking whether people want to suffer even more for the bankers. After having experienced a massive dose of austerity, everyone knew how horrible it would be to add more on top of that. So the majority obviously voted no. No to the "bailout". Since Varoufakis was finance minister, he was the one who had to sign up to the "bailout". However his prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, told him to ignore the referendum, ignore the no vote, and sign up for the "bailout" and massive dose of austerity. But given the mandate of the population, what the population decided, you know, what democracy is supposed to be, Varoufakis wasn't willing to do that, so he resigned. He didn't immediately explain the reasons for his resignation because he didn't want to add on extra damage. Later he did explain it, and this is why.
If you are wondering why Tsipras ignored the peoples' vote, Yanis explained that it was because Tsipras feared that Merkel (the leader of the Eurozone - which is Germany) would throw Greece out of the Eurozone (Greece would no longer be able to use the Euro) which would've done massive damage to Greece. As announcing that you will adopt a different currency means that the currency you now hold is going to be worth significantly more than the new currency that is about to be adopted. So everybody would be running to the bank to move their balances, all of their Euros into another bank in another country, such as a bank in Germany. People would be liquidating all of their assets (selling houses and everything they can as they are about to be worth a lot less), and etc, and this massive cash run (more often called a bank run) would mean that the banks can no longer lend to businesses, to individuals and etc, which means that the whole system would collapse. Massive unemployment, no money for schools, hospitals, social programs, massive devaluation of assets and all the rest.
But in the end, Tsipras was wrong to not follow Yanis's plan. Because the plans he developed plans were going to prevent Greece from being thrown out of the Euro. However I will not explain here what those plans were. The documentary will.
@@gallectee6032 Thanks for the insight, but didn't YV always maintain that going back to the drachma was a better option than Austerity with the euro . This was a major leverage as it would have cause a massive default in the Euro as he believe the EU was part of damaging Greece with its fiscal policies when they join the Euro .
I suspect there must have been some serious life threatening threats to YV's well being for him to abandon in such manner, which I hope he exposes.
Thanks for the chat.
@@gallectee6032 I recall he left the meeting with EU Council and IMF and resigned on its door step, and that was it.
He had to go. Great Guy but Greece needed the money. Tsipras was happy that he left. With the passing of time, has proved to be the right thing
@@tiziocaio6236 looks like his proposal was too radical for the world.
in one interview he mentions something like - The nightmare at the border - something like that, sounded like a documentary about the US border - anyone know if the title was correct and where I may find it? Thanks
When is soon? Can't wait!

Love you faryfa 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Correct: it's capitalism or death. But to move beyond capitalism we need two things: political power and an alternative economic theory. For the latter I have developed a conceptual framework called the Economics of Needs and Limits (ENL). This has so far been completely ignored, but perhaps its time has come. Yanis?

Moloch is immortal, it ain't going to die.
I voted Brexit because of what I saw after the financial crisis in Europe, yes I know that the British parliament did disgusting things with austerity also, but for the 1st time I saw the European union in a very alarming way, so when the time came I thought we should leave, it wasn't xenophobia or little Britain mindset, it certainly wasn't believing Boris ect.. It was the slap across the face awareness that Democracy was in extreme danger .

E democracy
Liquid democracy
"regulators have become enablers" so true there is no "eCoNoMiC" grwoth infact there is no economy in relation or in regards to mone factor not physical inphostructure that lever of control is lording / having control over
No, we move beyond "state corruption" or we die. Capitalism is like oxygen, you can have more of it or less of it but it's always there.

We die
Sounds like just as soon as certain people are getting close to what some call equality. Just as soon as we are about to score, you want to move the goal line back.
We die
I've just come back from Athens, the bars and restaurants were full, I saw no homeless...Y V scaremongering crap.
I live in athens, can you word this as an argument which proves your case please? because "people in bars = everything is absolutely fine" isn't exactly the empirical bombshell of evidence you think it is...ad hok ergo propter hok
@@DRS659 Never in the history of mankind have so many had so much, and that's world wide, despite Y V's constant scaremongering, there are fewer wars, fewer people starving, better medical facilities than any time in history.
True but also what do we do about rising powers who are currently benefiting from capitalism, in a relatively fair way, bc they are on the way up the standard of living?
We could accept feudalism and wait for them to judge us cheap enough... (Don't think so but the wheel will turn, that's for sure)?
Is it really possible that we actually should pay to watch anti capitalism movie!
A shill for the global elite?
how exactly?
? Explain...
When you argue for capitalism, you use facts, when you argue against capitalism, you use rhetorics. Video is well cut, but contains zero information.
Did you see the full docu?
@@mariettestabel275 Why? To waste my time? Anti-capitalist demagogy is always the same. I would like to waste my time if they say something new, that wasn't debunked many times before.
What a liar!
Henry George is the solution.
The land crisis is periodic, one will happen in 2026.
Read Fred Harrison for more information.
lol
much of what he says is true - however - he had the opportunity to make changes that every party agreed on (ie reforming the broken bureacracy which is an oppressive force in itself in Greece) and he did nothing. All talk, no action.
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are example of how propaganda becomes personal opinion and pollutes public dialogue. Try to be objective in life
You mean FULL action until his Prime Minister pulled the plug on the Referendum's outcome, which led to his (Varoufakis) resignation. I have NO OTHER example of a politician in Greece who forfeited their fat salary over a dispute with the PM on the grounds of ethics and the good of the many. Please research and read history ACCURATELY!!
All talk no action also true for boodhism.
Why sit and meditate ?
He was given a choice by his prime minister: ignore the no vote and sign up for the "bailout"/austerity, or resign. He resigned.
Which is bollocks as he resigned as finance minister exactly because of others doing what you accuse Yannis of. So I would suggest you have your head stuck somewhere moist and dark on that one.
yeah, don't forget we need nuclear power to do it. fear is the mind killer.
Nuclear energy is clean and safe yes we have learned form past mistakes like Chernobyl
We can do better next time
@@SajtPanda You should really look into it (not movies and scare propaganda)... it was a cascade of mistakes that weren't even possible for other reactors types at that era.. Now... even less. Not sure there are any reactors like that in use now let alone run stupid experiments on them and being absolutely crazy on pushing them to the "disaster" point. And even so... The risk is so low and not what people would imagine that you really have to raise an eyebrow when you see smart people like Yanis pushing some utterly absurd propaganda against Nuclear. My first though is they get some money from some concurrent "sector". Everybody has to pay some bills somehow...
In France were I live we have Mélenchon who talks even more absurdities about nuclear power.
The biggest problem I see with critics of Nuclear is that they don't realize what it is mainly. That it's a by definition socialist way of producing power and enemies of socialism want this power taken away so they can continue doing what they know best. And they tap into peoples fear and hesitance to look into such a complex science and understand.
Well... sort of.
Do keep in mind, Uranium is both a limited resource and mostly comes from conflict zones, France for example still has a colony it keeps a grip of so as to ensure its 70% of electricity supplied via nuclear can continue to do so and who gives a damn about the locals as France certainly does not.
As for how limited a resource, well if you moved all fossil fuel electrical energy generation over to new nuclear plants you would need at least 10,000 new nuclear power reactors in the 1GW range, lofting at least 2.5 years worth of global emissions into the atmo just from the cement of doing that and it would burn through the entire planets stockpile of Uranium in about 40 years.
@@Nine-Signs As with most resources that are limited is not a matter of having access to them or not but of price. All resources are for sale for the fair price. And biggest part of unfair prices are a sort of forked approach on our beloved west that is not something to be proud of. A poisonous self feeding loop of bad management we are stuck in.
As for second paragraph is just a paralyzing exaggeration. Of course we can keep it all on coal or oil... no problem for me... but do we really want this?
10 000 nuclear plants are orders of magnitude easier to make than the first one! And we came a long way from the first one in 1954.
A true narcissist, we were lucky he was removed by prime minister Tsipras. Don't believe a word out of his mouth. A horrible human being.

Greece can be very proud to have this Brilliant Mind.
Either we move beyond capitalism or we die. So what do we do Yanis ? Got a feeling you don't really know. But you're probably making a lot of money either way. thanks to capitalism.
That was your main takeaway? Pretty dumb.
😂 technically capitalism is dead. We're actually in the age of techno corporate neo feudalism where the top 1% are the lords and ladies and everyone else are the serfs and peasants
I get the impression you're intentionally applying bad faith here. Yanis has plenty of examples and ideas. The energy prices of Europe? Gives plenty ideas. Investing in infrastructure, green and otherwise? Plenty of ideas.
I get a strong suspicion that you haven't taken even 10 minutes to read one of his articles, or speech or whatever really. You don't have to agree with his ideas or proposals, but claiming he has none, is patently false.
Just an opinion Simon, and a question for Yanis. How do we move beyond Capitalism?
I know he has another book on its way and he needs to promote it and he’s done pretty well under capitalism. Just a lot of hot air from Yanis that doesn’t seem to produce anything. But as I said, it’s just an opinion.
