And you thought you wouldn't have to worry about Greece again...
Just to give you an update: Greece still can't pay back its debts; the EU, still led by Germany, still wants to wring Greece for every euro it can, imposing punishing austerity and tax increases; this regimen is still pushing Greece to the brink; if Greece leaves the euro, the currency might collapse, throwing the world into economic turmoil.
Enter Yanis Varoufakis, the most interesting man in the world right now.
Varoufakis is Greece's new finance minister, elected to Parliament and appointed on the heels of the victory by Syriza, Greece's far-left party that shot to near-majority status because of Greece's economic collapse. As finance minister, Varoufakis is leading Greece's efforts to renegotiate its bailout package with the EU.
So, yes, one reason why he's the most interesting man in the world is because he's a key player in a drama where the world's economic fate potentially hangs in balance.
But Varoufakis is also interesting because he's not a politician. He's not even an activist. He's just an economics professor. Worse: He's a blogger. Full story...
