Episode #59: Yanis Varufakis

Episode #59: Yanis Varoufakis On today’s show I travel all the way to the beautiful island of Greece to speak with finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. Yanis sets us straight about the history of economics and about how some of the old models we hold onto need to be left behind as we open our minds to new paradigms and new freedoms for all people.
