Yanis Varoufakis and Noam Chomsky talk on stage at the New York Public Library in 2016. They cover the Greek financial crisis, European politics, neoliberalism and America's economic future, drawing on Varoufakis's book.

Recommended as a long, insightful conversation that gives a view of how Greece was pressured during the bailouts.

I guess this is the kind of articles that is being referred to by Varoufakis in say, this video: [VIDEO] It's nice that some experts from IMF is saying this, but unfortunately, the people in power do not care.

This is a really good talk that will give some valuable insight into how Greece has been bullied. (YANIS VAROUFAKIS | NOAM CHOMSKY, NYPL, 26 April) [VIDEO] More than 90% of the bailout money went to banks, not to Greece. Bank recapitalization via the back door while blaming Greece.

> Obviously I'm talking about private investment, not public funding. Obviously both can "[figure] out the right arrangement of atoms that cures some disease." How does that not answer your question? Furthermore, how would 'obviousness' negate a counterexample? You're just moving the goalposts here. >It's not "a scam", as that article wants you to believe. You should stop reading that website, it's making you more uneducated. My apologies, your friendly suggestion is misguided. My "source" was the notoriously uneducated Noam Chomsky, but I knew you'd pooh-pooh that (can't stop you tho! :D) as appeal to authority. I confess I lazily Googled the citation. Direct link to the timecode of Chomsky's comments: [VIDEO] (~4m long)

Your narrative really doesn't sound real, and your argument of "ignore them!" comes across to me an attempt to psychologically bias other readers who are even less knowledgeable. [VIDEO] Yanis in conversation with Chomsky, long but insightful.
