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".
