How should the left resist fascism?
On this week’s episode of the Prospect Podcast, Benjamin Clark speaks to Yanis Varoufakis, economist and former Greek finance minister, whose most recent book is ‘Raise Your Soul: A Personal History of Resistance’.
Yanis reflects on writing a feminist history as a man, what his family’s encounters with Nazism taught him, and whether today’s left can still speak to young men drifting toward the far right.
He also weighs in UK prime minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown on protesters, and Zohran Mamdani’s performance in the New York mayoral race, despite the Democratic party struggling in Donald Trump’s second term.
