Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece and the co-founder of the international DiEM25 platform, discusses the economic and political impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic, in particular with regards to the Eurozone and southern European countries.

Comment from our editors:

This is an interesting contribution by the heterodox economist Yanis Varoufakis, who argues mainly from a Keynesian perspective, but who also called himselfe an "erratic Marxist".

Digital Capitalism and its Inequalities
This course will expose students to some of the key debates that link digital transformations to economic, social, and political inequalities. Students will be familiarised with a variety of theoretical movements in development studies and internet studies: exploring thinking that frames the internet as a leveller that can bridge divides vs. exploring the internet as an infrastructure that amplifies existing inequalities.
