About this episode

Yanis Varoufakis and Ron Paul discuss the flaws of central banking and its impact on society.

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and guest Representative Ron Paul join forces across the traditional Left-Right political spectrum to debunk the conventional economic orthodoxy of central banking, expose the covert tax of inflationary money printing, reveal how post-2008 financial bailouts transformed free-market capitalism into a system of corporate welfare, and dissect the collusion between big tech algorithms, state violence, and the military-industrial complex that erodes individual liberty and democratic accountability worldwide.
