The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And you went into maths.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Why doesn't it apply to real life?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And of humanity.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

So far.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I hope you're right.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I'm going to say something now which is going to really endear you to our more left-leaning listeners and viewers, of which we have a fair few.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Is it right that basically you left Britain in the end because Margaret Thatcher won a third term and you couldn't face the idea of her still being here?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

So you went to Australia and then you left Australia because they then started to turn to the right.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

So are you sort of driven around the world by politics?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

So what was the right war back then?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I can imagine that.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Absolutely in my politics.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Which was always a sub-current of that.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Don't be defensive.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

No, no, defensive.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

I'm explaining.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

So hold on, let me get this right.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

You've got the bankers there, but were the big governments, the French, the Germans, did they want Greece inside the euro?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

And if so, what were their reasons?

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
187. Yanis Varoufakis: How The 2008 Crisis Revived Far-Right Populism

Or were they brought into the euro on conditions that they never met and probably never could meet?
