Economist Yanis Varoufakis, the former Minister of Finance for Greece, says that it&#8217;s because you can be in politics today but not be in power \u2014 because real power now belongs to those who control the economy. He believes that the mega-rich and corporations are cannibalizing the political sphere, causing financial crisis. In this talk, hear his dream for a world in which capital and labor no longer struggle against each other, &#8220;one that is simultaneously libertarian, Marxist and Keynesian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world&#8217;s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
