Trump was winning. Then he bombed Iran.
The blunt assessment from economist and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who joins Nexus to break down the real state of American power in 2025.
From tariffs to the petrodollar, Yanis argues Trump had successfully reshaped global trade in America’s favour, until the Iran war unravelled everything.
We also dig into the Genius Act and the rise (and potential fall) of stablecoins: why Varoufakis believes they could trigger a financial crisis worse than 2008, and why he supports central bank digital currencies as the safer alternative, despite the civil liberties concerns.
A conversation about power, money, technology and the future of American hegemony.
