Greece’s new Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, famous anti-austerity economist, author, writer and blogger with thousands of followers said that he will continue blogging -despite his new day job. In a post uploaded Tuesday morning, just a couple of hours before he sworn-in, Varoufakis wrote:
Finance Ministry slows blogging down but ends it not
The time to put up or shut up has, I have been told, arrived. My plan is to defy such advice. To continue blogging here even though it is normally considered irresponsible for a Finance Minister to indulge in such crass forms of communication. Naturally, my blog posts will become more infrequent and shorter. But I do hope they compensate with juicier views, comments and insights.
For hope to be revived we must all strive to change the ways of a dismal past. Maintaining an open line with the outside world may be a small step in that direction.
So, keep watching this space!
