Veo el siguiente vídeo con una charla de David Harvey en un reciente evento en Atenas —parece que el abuelo está cada vez más comprometido con ese laboratorio en el que Europa parece estar volviendo a jugarse su identidad— y me sorprende encontrar a mitad del metraje a Michael Janoschka entre los oyentes.
