Introduction p7-8. He reports a a conversation between himself, then Finance Minister of Greece and Larry Summers, then independent (previously Chief Economist World Bank, Secretary of State for Treasury, President of Harvard). Summers asked Varoufakis if he would be an insider or an outsider. Only be being an insider could he get access to information and the chance to influence decisions. Outsiders, said Summers insist on the right “to speak their version of the truth”, insiders on the other hand stick together. This is a very revealing anecdote – many politicians have enough hubris to readily opt to become insiders. Throughout this site I will argue that by giving up their version of the truth they are giving up the crown jewels as a price of entry. That step once taken reinforces the existence of the club.
