Greece's charismatic former finance minister and most popular politician whom Business Insider calls the most interesting man in the world gives voice to the anti-austerity movement and provides a front row seat to the drama that is unfolding in the Eurozone: how the financial crisis all started where it's going and how the fate of Greece is intimately tied to America's economic future and the stability of the global economy. 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.
