Germany's AfD surge & the death of the European project
About this episode
Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau discuss the implications of the AfD's electoral success in Germany and its connection to the challenges facing the European Union.
In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the political fallout from the AfD’s electoral breakthrough in Germany, debunk the establishment myth of how Hitler came to power in order to draw alarming parallels to what is happening with the AfD today, and reveal why the European Union’s current structure is inherently incapable of preventing systemic decay and the rise of ethnonationalism.
