A recent Oxfam study found that since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the world’s richest 10 billionaires have seen a wealth increase of half a trillion dollars – enough to pay for every person on the planet to get a vaccine.
In this UpFront special, Marc Lamont Hill discusses with economist and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis what is driving the staggering wealth inequalities and how governments are offering socialism for the rich, and austerity for the rest.
STOP HOLDING. CONTROLLING & HACKING. I WANT TO EARN HERE. PEACE 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Well explained, Yanis Varoufakis, thank you.
( づ ◔ ◡ ◔ )づ THANK YOU YANIS VAROUFAKIS.!!! 💖💖💖
The pandemic is Structure to make the millionaires become billionaire
Billionaire become trillionaire
An trillionaires becomes zillionaire
The poor will be dead’s by the end of the pandemic
Forced failed pump and dump invites saving pride by way of expression not real. Not a popular tourist place any longer. Deep State offer a to save face. Covid huh?
2020: china virus!
2021: china virus mutants!
2022: Nuke china to end pandemic!
Why on earth you give that vain clown the microphone?
Because they share the same idiology
Because they are not Greeks, so they are not victims of the insane greek propaganda against him.
@Alex Batsis Indeed, because they are not greeks his actions would not have an effect on their lives and savings so it’s easy for them to ignore how disastrous he was in governance five years ago. Our savings almost got evaporated and the country was on the verge of being kicked out of the EU μα εσενα Αλεξη προφανως δεν σε χαλασε ολο αυτό, σωστα;
Google wants to rule the world by creating an interconnected digital economy where google can spy and keep track of everyone. It is up to the worlds governments to prevent that from happening.
Varoufakis: looks great; always long gestures, short substance. Your proposals need more “flesh” for them to come to life.

Marc Lamont Hill needs to stand at Columbus Circle across from CNN on a cloudy day and prove to us all that media is actually competitive. I have video from almost 4 years ago. Several times. Almost all of the official residents kept forgetting to turn on the lights, TVs and HVAC. This is what CNN reporters look at every cloudy day on their way to their drama and scolding classes, which have as much trouble selling news as “how did the pretend rich pretend to get richer?” met with the fake history answers and lack of recognition of street level reality. If Columbus Circle is not enough, walk over to Lincoln Center and never look above the first floor if y’all wish to keep a worthless narrative going. Look above it and do the math, if you think the narrative makes no sense.
he is a former Clinton News Nework professional fake news purveyor. I am disappointed in AJ. At least Rick Sanchez criticizes CNN propaganda on RT.
Yanis is great! Always a pleasure to listen to him. Thank You Al Jazeera.
Yanis calling a cat, a cat.
i would support this man before any of the greedy, greedy 1% overpaid and undertaxed corporations and private individuals stripping society of earnings and getting gains for themselves only. False economy. Government better implement changes or there is going to be intolerance from the many masses. Me included.
Karl Marx couldn’t have said it better.
The guy actually said that this is going to get much worse.. i sincerly hope that he was wrong. I dont thing this thing cant get much worse than this.
I have a great deal of respect for the guest . But wasn’t this host peddling celebrity gossip on some other network some years back?? Now he’s mr woke black host ?? No credibility
That “woke black host” is a distinguished professor at Temple University
@Abdi Osman lol “distinguished what’s your point ?? you can put credentials in front and in the back o your name all you want but I’ve followed Mr Hill’s moves comments and politics over the years so his tenure at Temple means nothing. I’ve studied and graduated college and many of my professors were considered distinguished” and credentialed, and they stood corrected many a time after wrangling with me so again your point?
Democracic/friendly/cooperative people affairs managment (so called Political System) to be sustainably functional, needs to be built on Democratic/friendly/family model/cooperative people economic affairs managment.
Just as the palm tree does not grow in the Arctic/Alien earth, natural genuine public democracy, as an interactive alive mechnism, also needs its own fertile economic ground! Not any economy ground, and especially not suh competitive, aggressive, individualistic multimonopolistic (economc, political and socially) irresponsible chaotic capitalism!
Crypto currencies has been blazing a few indications of solidarity all through the previous few days, with bulls being in full control of their price action as they aim at pushing general prices over the resistance level.. General bullish move has being productive to hodlers and traders the same, with everybody anxious to get a bit of crypto currency at the present time! Although i fancy trading over hodling, because of its productivity and extra information on crypto by and large. Overtime, i have used lots of signal service and guide from experts to assist with trading, one of those experts has been central to most of the trading successes i have enjoyed.. Daron Wilber’s administration is one of the productive ones I have utilized, and I would suggest him for crypto related difficulties. He can be reached on Tel- – qram (@Daron_signals) and What’s– application (+4 4 7 8 6 2 0 7 1 0 7 6) for his assistance. Lets be positive and remain winning
Its been so amazing and profitable trading with Daron’s daily signals and guides for over 6 months now, I really can’t thank him enough
Me too, trading and minimising loss was possible due to Daron’s daily signals and guides, His signal is really top notch
For good 3 months now its been massive profits for me and my friends here in Houston.
I don’t have much to say….. Daron’s daily signal is 80% accurate from what I have experienced and highly recommended
Lately i have searched youtube for a pro trader to guide and provide me with accurate trading signals.. I will contact him, thanks
Wow …Marc Lamont……..Glad to see you…..I am sure you will be successful here too ….. Looking forward to all of your show……
“From the river to the sea”..My another Bro of Humanity….
Varoufakis as usual makes great and significant points. What is new is the excellent questions and interview from the journalist side for the first time.
Yes, the interviewer is on the ball.
Indeed
Varoufakis sees everything through the prism of the 2008 financial crisis. The pandemic itself is the catalyst for the world’s super-rich becoming even richer due partly to the slowdown of national economies and the collapse of global equity markets.
The “1929 Depression” actually began in 1921, farm strikes 1922, tax cuts 1926, tariffs, Hoover moves from Sec Commerce to President 1928, Hoover coins “too big to fail” as millions of small businesses collapse. FDR understood that interest rates in Depressions are negative (something impossible numerically in modern business structure) hence Government deficit spending gets paid back with cheaper dollars in the future.
As with the 1929 Depression it took until 1939 even after FDRs strong fiscal policies was just breaking even. The Stock Market today doesn’t show the “adjustments” in market value during previous Depressions.
IT WAS ENGINEERED BY THE DESIGN. SO KEEP THE QUITE PLEASE.!!! 🤫🤫🤫
Cos its a plandemic

Dear Al Jazeera English,
Honorable Mr. Yanis
Varoufakis,
Kind Host Mr. Marc Lamont
Hall,
I have a feeling that we are missing quite possibly the truest ultimatum that is going to be exacted on a global population meaning unbeknownst to most of us the writings of late author Mr. Jim Marrs. Please read all his books and don’t miss a one. Find the Masters and Serfs segment about how many of us won’t be around much longer as their plan is unfolding even as I write. There’s much more to this little global overthrow soiree…
Thank you.
Sincerely,

just convert the pieces of paper your employer gives you into silver and goal and get out of the stupid fiat scam
The U.S. national debt clock adds $1 million every 22 seconds. The debt will reach $28 _trillion_ on or near March 9.
Meanwhile, China will become a $30-trillion economy by 2030.
Sad to see Mehdi go but Marc will no doubt be a great journalist.
This is so true
When they went on about gender inequality that’s when I stopped listening.
but wasted your time writing this comment
Gender inequality? Women are obvious second class citizens meant to please us. Liberals…
@N Hinton I’d say feminism is the most liberal thing. And what divides people. Wake up.
what do you expect? This guy doing the interview is from the Clinton News Network (CNN)
I can’t believe AJ is now hiring mainstream purveyors of fake news. No wonder he mentioned cultural Marxism “gender politics”. At least Rick Sanchez shits on CNN at RT.
Maybe they caused the pandemic to make money. Do they care?
“I don’t understand how capitalism works. Let me ask a Marxist how it works.”
Only marxists understand how capitalism works, deal with it
Lol. Funny.
obviously you would ask the opposition because the capitalist will lie… it’s like Brexit delusion, you won’t find a brexiteer with facts and videos showing how great it is and how many factories opened now. You always need the counter part.
2:30 ““They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” Talleyrand
on the Bourbon monarchy.
Louis XVI was executed after the French Revolution (1789)
His son Louis XVIII was restored after Napoleon
Louis XVIII died in 1824 and his brother Charles X became king.
Charles tried to rule as an autocrat, disregarding the constitution.
There was a minor protest in 1830 ; inexplicably Charles’ nerve went, and he fled to England.
Talleyrand wasn’t referring to this episode but it nicely fits his apophthegm.
When you distort the truth society goes into chaos
Whats is the difference between the force behind the Nazis when creating their New World Order , and today’s technocratic governments?
There is no difference when you get down to it ……….only your perceptions of what is evil and what isn’t.
BRAINWASHED – if you look at the policies of those in power at that time i.e bankers , corporations , and politicians , you can only conclude thats its all happening again right now.
Weapons of mass destruction , and now a killer virus that supposed to be a pandemic even though the figures dont add up – it all ends up with giving away your privacy rights and removing your individual freedom.
Countries like the US are hardly capitalist anymore. They’re a phony capitalism with Socialist elements which give out government bailouts to the very rich in Wall Street. No business is too big to fail, true capitalism means the government can’t give out bailouts to people and it means won’t be able to lobby. Socialism isn’t the answer to our problems, Socialist elements are what’s allowing these people to get richer, you don’t destroy a wealth gap by taking out 55 cents out of a dollar of a random million/billionaire, people like Obama, even Trump and most likely Biden have the put the US in so much debt.
Yanis Varoufakis. The game-theory genius that thought Greece could skip paying its debt and at the same time borrow even more money from the same creditors! Pure genius. Or not… Let’s put it this way; he failed! Poor Marxists always think of other people’s money as their own.
@Alex Batsis Really? These are facts. Please prove me wrong.
Greece messed itself up
@Douglas Santet That’s right. They messed it up all on their own. No one else to blame.
So he wanted a bailout? like the banks and all the others at the top. But because it was him its marxism, but when its business its stimulus. Personally i think he’s a politician first and an economist third or fourth. Second would be slamming hot chicks in his Greek condo.
@Dan B Cooper. Please be more careful and learn the facts first. Varoufakis underlined that the Greek Debt was unsustainable (as it was admitted also by IMF) and that Greece would need a haircut in order to pay the rest of the debt. He even suggested debt payments linked to Greece’s annual growth in order to create a win win situation. These are basic economics. Fundamentals of the function of capitalism in a monetary union. The problem was the politics in Europe, not the financial part.
No, Corporate Socialism.
Capitalism breeds capitalists .. ultra capitalism breeds ultra capitalists. Socialism wont work in America . As the elites wont allow nothing that asjs for their fair share.
Floating banks with organ trafficking and Genocide
Astute gentleman.
He is such an intelligent man! The interviewer seemed to have done his homework too.
The host is brilliant
very principled as well, when I started the video I said isn’t that the guy who was fired from CNN over a pro Palestine speech, so googled his name and found out I was right, was worried his career would be ruined for life, so super delighted to see that Aljazeera didn’t jump on the bandwagon with other networks in boycotting him or setting him as an example. The Zionist influence in America is insane.
@It’s all sausage to me wow, that’s huge..
@It’s all sausage to me you are absolutely right he’s an American of African descent and a scholar
Their both 🎯🎯and we ( average people) sit back and allow it . Also , consume and use these products. Which help these techno companies get their trillions .

awsum questions
The question was ‘who is to blame for this great inequality’. I lay the blame on bicameral legislatures. We should have abandoned upper houses and senates long ago in lieu of worker cooperatives or very limited government. The other alternative, which is my preference because it is an easy pivot since FDR’s New Deal, is a flat tax structure set at 60:40 in favor of the people. Government should support medical care and education only, while the land is held perpetually in common by the people although managed by a limited government. A meritocracy can succeed.
Sorry I thought I saw voldemort.
Capitalism for the poor socialism for the rich.
Or vice versa like in USA
Yuuuuuuppers. And these modern lords will bail on us as soon as musk can terraform Mars. They have already decided the planet cannot survive the human race at current rates of resource consumption. This is just a long slow countdown to the plot of the book dune
And who give snake musk to terrafarm mars or any other place?
*Marc Lamont Hill* – a prominent BLM activist, a progressive democratic socialist who got fired by CNN for promoting the ‘Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions’ (BDS) of Israel and also referred to the country as being ‘white supremacist imperialism’. Now hired by the Qataris to host a news interview titled ‘Capitalism has become techno-feudalism???
Why? Because it’s a planned pandemic. Part of then globalist agenda to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the global oligarchy.
Even if the EU as a whole didn’t have the mechanisms which USA had in place, so that people didn’t have to rely on politicians. Dont individual EU countries have those mechanisms?
And the feudal system is in operation not only for tech businesses. Bill Gates currently is the largest land owner in the US.We are literally moving into feudal system.
Even for the food that people used to cultivate in their lands, now would be dependent on the aristocrats, the modern billionaires.
This system has to collapse. Capitalism is not working anymore.
Marc Lamont – you have no credibility, since you used to work for CNN – Clinton news network. No credibility. Let Yanis speak with an empty chair.
this is a plandemic and big tech is fully invoved as they own all media…..the global village is under attack because of its borderless design easily exploited by big tech…where even the president of america can be rigged out and denied any voice by big tech who hold social media also in its vast grip
all countries must return their sovereignty and give its citizens fully rights so all are free especially free speech…..prcedence in court cases must stop ”’law is law every case must have its merits….the use of 1905 court case to weaponise vaccine is wrong and illegal
Beware of any ideology preaching revolution, only massive death has resulted. Education, honesty, research of candidates, voting religiously, environmental activism. Yanoukis comes from Greece, which lied about its finances to enter the EU, then spent its own and EU money into bankruptcy. Corruption is the cause of world poverty, only education and activism control corruption.
The Church of Covidtology. The followers of this cult belong in re-education camps. These cult followers believe EVERYTHING that the media, Gates, Fauci, and Slaoui say and worship them as Gods. Disturbing. No wonder it seems like End Times. Wow people. Wow. The head of Moderna says that this scam of the century will be endemic which means we will never go back to normal even after we get the jab. The walrus will continue to evolve and become jab resistant. The followers of Covidtology are in for a rude awakening. They’re in for a grand rude awakening. This is The Great Reset agenda being pushed by Klaus Schwab. This is Dark Winter. In other words, we don’t need a jab, we don’t need it. But people will continue to line up and beg for it…

good interview, if you leave Prof. Varoufakis to talk it will take twice as long and cover less subject material.
Really like the journalist. here.

BUY BITCOIN FFS!!!!
Marc Lamont 👍
Truth bomb
Disgusting !, ” The Owners ” have no shame , stunning Hypocrites that have corrupted ALL to satisfy their Pervert Ego ..
When did Marc Lamont move to aljazeera?
What happened to monopoly commissions?
This became the EU comission..
Industrial Service Banking versus a Financial System full of tricks and traps for the regular guy.
Did i saw this reporter in some movie?
Marc, nice to see you again my friend!! CNN’s loss
Thank you for catering to us that are as knowledgeable regarding the responsibility of the democracy of the U.S
Is she able to grow her own beans, or is that a complicated circumstance as well?
As in when Africa’s position in forgetting how to sustainable survivable prior to colonization?
ISMs, like capitalism, or racism, are belief systems incentivized by economic systems. Modify beliefs and then spend accordingly.
One word, Boomers. They have the majority of votes in western countries. They vote for what fills there pockets. When they start to die off things will improve, so 5-15 years time. This guy never mentioned them once, why?
Amazon is Omnicorp.
Loving this thank you! however in regard to his statistic re Structural Racism ‘People of Afro descent are 40% more likely to die of Covid’ Thats simply an epidemological thing. To do with genetic factors.
Greater the sin higher the reward
Don’t disagree with the guy but how come his country went into complete bankruptcy under his watch?
If Greece didn’t get help from the EU, they’d be poorer than Somalia
Techno-feudalism… Corprocracy… Plutocracy… Neo- liberalism… Proto-fascism… all these ideas represent oppression. yet the idea that we have hope is ridiculous. There is no real global society. I wish there was. There is still the internet though. which should be our saviour.
but they’re trying to turn the internet into this trans-human virtual reality thing man idk
@anEssentialBusiness ‘They’?
@Beastworld meaning the smart people on the internet like ben geortzel, elon musk, and those people who have influence and are building companies using the internet. a lot of the other people are just using internet to troll lmao. like all these bitcoin bots. but thats just me i mean whats your perspective
@anEssentialBusiness ah I see.. you never know when someone refers to ‘they’… and as far as elon musk goes… don’t trust a guy who names their kid after a plane. if he was as smart as people tell me is he’d have unified gravity by now.
@Beastworld haha i feel that..i think he is smart, but he used a lot of his intelligence for business. i think he doesn’t like the concept of money, he probably thought it was stupid judging from the stuff he did in his younger days like spending it all on companies. even if he’s not einstein or nikola tesla smart, he’s bold af
Remember those bandanas that show you’re gay? Notes are more rectangular.
Thank you for this discussion. Many, many more people need to see this.
When you are accused of being a socialist because you want to reign in Oligarchism and return to old capitalism.
Great interview. Wish it was longer.
For usa you shuld start with 1913
Congrats Marc 👏🏾
Glad to see him on Al jazeera.
…who smelt it dealt it…?
Well I’m mean I made 240k on my stocks in 2020 and my home value went up to 2.3 million and I’m only a mere millionaire…
So Al Jazeera cannot blame Trump anymore? Ha! Ha! 🙂
Capitalize profits (among the elites), socialize losses (among the commoners).
The quality of Al Jaz reporting is getting better and better.
UBI will just cause inflation…. Forget this idiotic idea
Because suffering is profitable and that should scare us all.
Excellent interview. Real.
