In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk the popular orthodoxy surrounding Brexit, exposing the phoney statistics used to fabricate a narrative of British macroeconomic self-harm, while dissecting the existential reality of Germany's inevitable structural collapse through its automakers' loss of the critical AI and EV race to China.

The European economy didn't die it was killed and disassembled

Germans demand ludicrous prices for their cars today. Cheapest BMW, 2 series with 1.5L 3-cylinder engine is £33.5k!

Having a flat line on brain activity, it's too late to expect any sort of intelligence in Europe, artificial or not.

German car makers took €150billion in profits from china in last 30 years. They wasted it. What more headstart do you want!

Brexit was about immigration full stop..it was ignored & made far worse…the politicians should all be in prison for treason..

Brexi was, and continues to be, undermined at every turn by politicians and civil servants.

@rogermetcalfe9517 3 months ago

Brexit was driven by the lack of democratic accountability in the EU. The economic argument was secondary.

If the comparison isn't per capita , it is silly.

I love it when you dig into the numbers. Governments give us so much BS through their politicized numbers and we need to dig into these numbers to understand what is really going on.

Trade creates wealth. Trade barriers create paperwork.

It does not matter which economic group you align yourself with if your energy costs make you uncompetitive against countries with cheap, reliable energy.
