Yanis Varoufakis — James Galbraith on ERT, the Fight for Greek Democracy and the Euro Crisis

On Wednesday 12th June James Galbraith and I addressed a crowd of 2500 in Thessaloniki. After having visited the ERT’s Thessaloniki headquarters, were we had the honour and privilege of talking to ERT employees and the crowd of people that had gathered in support of public media, we walked over to the Vellidio Expo Centre were we delivered our talks on the Crisis. The events of the day had stirred up a great deal of emotion both in the crowd and in our own hearts. Here is James Galbraith’s exquisite talk.

I'm beginning to feel that the global revolution may be on, with the forces aligning against each other. There is also an oppositional dynamic in the revolutionary forces.

Looks to me like Strauss & Howe's The Fourth Turning (1997) and Ravi Batra's The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution against Political Corruption and Economic Chaos (2007) may be in the process of being borne out. See also Ravi Batra, The Downfall of Capitalism and Communism: Can Capitalism Be Saved? (1978, rev. ed. 1990).
