And the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe's Crisis and America's Economic Future

Autor Yanis Varoufakis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2017
A titanic battle is being waged for Europe's integrity and soul, with the forces of reason and humanism losing out to growing irrationality, authoritarianism, and malice, promoting inequality and austerity. The whole world has a stake in a victory for rationality, liberty, democracy, and humanism.

In January 2015, Yanis Varoufakis, an economics professor teaching in Austin, Texas, was elected to the Greek parliament with more votes than any other member of parliament. He was appointed finance minister and, in the whirlwind five months that followed, everything he had warned about-the perils of the euro's faulty design, the European Union's shortsighted austerity policies, financialized crony capitalism, American complicity and rising authoritarianism-was confirmed as the "troika" (the European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and European Commission) stonewalled his efforts to resolve Greece's economic crisis.

Here, Varoufakis delivers a fresh look at the history of Europe's crisis and America's central role in it. He presents the ultimate case against austerity, proposing concrete policies for Europe that are necessary to address its crisis and avert contagion to America, China, and the rest of the world. With passionate, informative, and at times humorous prose, he warns that the implosion of an admittedly crisis-ridden and deeply irrational European monetary union should, and can, be avoided at all cost.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLERWITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHORA spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of failed capitalism. In this startling account of Europe's economic rise and catastrophic fall, Yanis Varoufakis pinpoints the flaws in the European Union's design - a design that was thought up after the Second World War, and is responsible for Europe's fragmentation and the resurgence of racist extremism across the Continent. When the financial crisis struck in 2008, the political elite's response ensured that it would be the weakest citizens of the weakest nations that would pay the price for the bankers' mistakes.

Drawing on his personal experience of negotiations with the eurozone's financiers, and offering concrete policies to reform Europe, Varoufakis shows how we concocted this mess, and points the way out of it. And The Weak Suffer What They Must? reminds us of our history, in order to save European capitalism and democracy from the abyss. Varoufakis's explosive new book Adults In The Room: My Battle With Europe's Deep Establishment is now available
