Book Review on Another Now: Despatches from an Alternative Present by Yanis Varoufakis

Time for another book review! This time it's the new book by Yanis Varoufakis, Another Now: Despatches from An Alternative Present. What can I say? The duration of this video says it all. This one has been playing on my mind for a while as I reflected on the concepts presented about a fair and equitable society. Although some of it meant I had to read up on and learn so that I can grapple with what he was presenting, many times it was what he didn't say in the sentences that spoke volumes. That is, there were times I would read the sentences, put down the book and contemplate what he was saying and then immediately, it would bring up additional questions and ideas that were underlying that message. If anything, this book made me realise my own knowledge gaps in understanding economics and not to take for granted what is being fed to us by the monopolies. Is there an alternative? I'm not sure. What I do understand is that the current system is not working either and as an ex-corporate worker, I too became demoralised about a lot of things too. However, I’m not also entirely sold on this idea either or, more accurately, I just don’t trust the people who would be behind it to create this “new economy”. In this review, I talk about my perspective of this important book for 2020 and beyond. The Germans I refer to in this video are the few in power in the money markets.
