Yanis Varoufakis

Forfatterbiografi

Yanis Varoufakis (født 24. marts 1961 i Athen) er en græsk økonom, akademiker og forfatter med tilknytning til australsk nationalitet. Han er særligt kendt for at formidle økonomi og politisk økonomi til et bredere publikum gennem sagprosa, hvor han kobler økonomiske modeller og begreber til større samfundsmæssige debatter. Varoufakis har arbejdet som underviser og forsker og har også optrådt offentligt som politisk aktør. Hans skrivning bevæger sig i spændet mellem introducerende lærebogsformidling og kritisk fagessay, ofte med fokus på de teoretiske grundlag for økonomisk tænkning og samspillet mellem økonomi, institutioner og magt. På det faglige område fremhæves især hans arbejde med spilteori, herunder i samarbejde med Shaun Hargreaves-Heap. Samtidig har han skrevet værker, der gør økonomien mere tilgængelig for læsere uden specialuddannelse. Et eksempel er Foundations of Economics: A beginner’s companion (1998, Routledge), der beskriver centrale økonomiske ideer i en lærervenlig struktur, og som samtidig reflekterer over økonomifagets historiske og metodiske udfordringer. Varoufakis’ betydning for litteraturen ligger især i, at han oversætter økonomisk videnskab til engagerende og kritiske narrativer, hvor læsningen både er lærerig og debatskabende.
