WV,
Your first link doesn’t work. Could you post the article separately from your google account?
Am a fan of Varoufakis, and was thrilled when Greece elected Syriza. I thought, for once, a real, honest to goodness leftist party finally had some power over events. But the president seemed to give into the three-headed monster too soon, and ignored Varoufakis, basically. A tragedy. He basically accepted the status quo ante, when his party and he had been elected to reject it and fight it.
Thanks for the youtube link. Have bookmarked it. Two great minds, together. Should be excellent.
