Yanis Varoufakis is a top economist who was at the forefront of international media attention as Minister of Finance in the Syriza government in Greece.

How has global capitalism changed due to the pandemic? Will capitalism manage to cope with the ecological crisis? This event is part of the Indigo festival. www.indigo.ooo
