Yanis Varoufakis on Socialism in the 21st Century

I interviewed Yanis Varoufakis about his vision for what Socialism in the 21st century could look like. In this episode of 1Dime Radio, Yanis Varoufakis joins me to talk about his science fiction novel "Another Now," where he depicts his vision of what an ideal transitory socialist society could look like. To break out of capitalist realism and envision an alternative to the dystopia of Techno-Feudalism, Yanis Varoufakis proposes a new model of democratic socialism and outlines the specific ways it would work.
