About this episode

Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau discuss the implications of U.S. dollar swap lines for Gulf states and the potential end of U.S. economic hegemony.

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk the orthodox view that the newly established U.S. dollar swap lines for Gulf states are a charitable bailout for the Middle East, arguing instead that these facilities are a desperate signalling mechanism designed to bail out the American financial system and the petrodollar recycling machine, as the escalating war in Iran threatens to permanently dismantle U.S. economic hegemony.
