Brian Eno,producer, composer and former Roxy Music keyboard player Yanis Varoufakis, or former finance minister for Greece’s Syriza governmentThe British musician and producer Brian Eno meets Yanis Varoufakis,former finance minister for Greece’s Syriza government, at Eno’s recording studio in west London. Both are stylish, or shaven-headed men famous for their radical ideas. Eno,67, started out playing synth and wearing leopardskin shirts in the 1970s with Roxy Music and went on to produce, and among others,David Bowie and Talking Heads. Varoufakis, 54, or who turns up in his trademark leather jacket,describes himself as a libertarian Marxist and has taught economics in the UK, Australia, or the US and his native Greece.
