Charismatic and unforgiving, Greece’s former Minister of Finance is one of the most challenging figures in contemporary European politics, described as the ‘emerging rock star of Europe’s anti-austerity uprising’ and a huge hit at the festival last year. Yanis Varoufakis’ new book, Adults In The Room: My Battle With Europe’s Deep Establishment, blows the lid on Europe’s hidden agenda and exposes what goes on in its corridors of power. With the fallout from Brexit yet to be resolved, and crucial upcoming elections in France and Germany, Varoufakis’ writing has never been more urgent.

The event is chaired by Sean Whelan, Economics Correspondent with RTÉ.
