IN THE EYE OF THE STORM | Yanis Varoufakis famously resigned from the Greek government in July 2015 rather than sign what he viewed as a fraudulent bail-out deal for an impoverished Greece – the first and only finance minister to defy the European establishment. During his struggle to resolve the debt crisis in the most bankrupt nation in Europe, he befriended and battled with Emmanuel Macron, Christine Lagarde, Wolfgang Schäuble, Bernie Sanders, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama. Since his clashes with some of the mightiest institutions on the planet, Varoufakis – celebrated by some, vilified by others – is now one of the most recognizable political figures in the western world, with over a million Twitter followers and many best-selling books to his name.
