Not giving up on Germany despite being banned from enteringBy Yanis VaroufakisThree weeks ago, I was banned from entering Germany. Suddenly, my mind raced back to another era when my 10-year-old self thought of Germany as a refuge from authoritarianism. The specter of deindustrialization that today casts a depressing shadow across Germany is consistent with my prognosis. Dismissing their groundless accusations, let me home in on the central question: How could almost the entire German political class embrace this denunciation, which prepared the ground for the subsequent police action? This is why, despite the ban, I am not giving up on Germany.
