Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and Canadian sci-fi author and activist Cory Doctorow will discuss critical issues facing Western governments when Carnegie Conversations: Experiments In Democracy comes to the Sydney Opera House this November.
Launched in 2015 and as part of Ideas At The House, Carnegie Conversations aims to discuss critical ideas of ethics, ageing, politics and freedom of speech.
This instalment will feature Varoukis, who was given a unique and powerful perspective as Greece’s Finance Minister during a period in which the economy continued to fail and society suffered greatly.
He’ll be joined by Doctorow, the activist, journalist, blogger and author of the award-winning Real Life, who’ll explore the pitfalls of the internet and its surveillance.
Join the discussion Sunday November 29 at the Studio, Sydney Opera House. Tickets and more info from the website.
