|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/13/26 |  Trump’s Russian diesel deal & France’s fatal debt collapse | In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect Trump’s Russian diesel deal to expose the collapse of Western unity, while debunking the myth of French fiscal incompetence to reveal why France’s €3.6 trillion debt crisis is a structurally inevitable flaw of the euro. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | 40m 16s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 |  France’s fiscal crisis & Europe's dangerous war fever | In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the gathering financial and political storm in France, expose the self-defeating mechanics of European austerity, and reveal the dangerous escalation of 'war fever' across the continent, where hybrid-war narratives and NATO-Russia tensions threaten to drag an economically fragile, unprepared Europe into a devastating pre-1914 style conflict. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | 47m 53s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 |  Europe's pre-war madness & the reindustrialisation myth | In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the escalating geopolitical tensions between Western powers, Russia, and China, expose the dangerous anti-diplomacy bias within mainstream media and centrist political establishments that pushes Europe toward a pre-war posture, and debunk the political myth that military Keynesianism and factory-focused reindustrialisation can restore high-paying blue-collar jobs in an automated age. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | 39m 19s | ||||||
| 9/22/26 |  Germany’s political meltdown & how the Left betrayed Europe | In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the systemic breakdown of German centrist politics, reveal the uncomfortable truth about Europe’s total lack of defence sovereignty under US hegemony, and debunk the conventional political narrative by exposing how the centre-Left bears primary responsibility for the continent’s long-term deindustrialisation and geopolitical decline. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | 43m 02s | ||||||
| 9/15/26 |  The AI extinction myth & Europe’s tech collapse | In this AI focussed episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau expose the recent apocalyptic warnings from tech bosses as tricks for regulatory capture, reveal how weaponised AI and China’s robotic lead threaten stability, and dissect Europe’s failure to retain sovereignty in an era of cloud capital.
