In this month\u2019s Tax Justice Network Taxcast there's discussion of a new vision for Europe amid, or in spite of the Brexit vortex. Plus: Britain\u2019s about to become the neighbour from hell, post-Brexit: how can the EU defend citizens from the race to the bottom between nations on tax and regulations precipitated by Britain\u2019s destructive \u2018Singapore-on-the-Thames\u2019 model?<\/p>\n

TJN also speaks to\u00a0David Adler<\/a>,\u00a0DIEM25\u00a0<\/a>(Democracy in Europe Movement) Policy director and\u00a0Green New Deal for Europe<\/a>\u00a0coordinator, and\u00a0John Christensen<\/a>\u00a0of the Tax Justice Network. We also hear from economist\u00a0Yanis Varoufakis<\/a>, co-founder of DIEM25 and former Finance Minister of Greece.<\/p>\n

Produced and presented by the Tax Justice Network\u2019s\u00a0Naomi Fowler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are facing a systemic crisis in Europe, and the one thing we have not done is to deal with it systematically. None of them are asking the question, what is going on in Europe? And what should we do with the architectural design, with economic and social policy at the level of Europe? \u201d<\/p>\n

~ Yanis Varoufakis<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

the question is, is the EU\u00a0reformable<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 well, we like to say the EU is not reformable, but it is\u00a0transformable. W<\/em>e are for the EU and against\u00a0this<\/em>\u00a0EU\u201d<\/p>\n

~ David Adler<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With a harmonised approach, the rules of the market applied consistently, you flip the competition. It\u2019s the companies that have to compete rather than the countries that have to compete\u201d<\/p>\n
