Greece 2015: there was an alternative

Event  |  posted 1 October 2020

TUESDAY 13 OCTOBER, 7pm

Discussion with author Eric Toussaint and economist Michael Roberts.

This book is an alternative to the narrative spun by the mainstream media, the creditors, and Yanis Varoufakis in his book Adults in the Room. Toussaint argues that instead of calling upon the people’s support, Varoufakis and Tsipras spent far too much time in lengthy negotiations which only resulted in more concessions. He discusses the implications of the Greek experience for the left and for potential radical governments.
