And the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe’s Crisis and America’s Economic Future Audiobook (Free)

A #1 Sunday Occasions bestseller [UK]

A titanic battle has been waged for Europe’s integrity and soul, using the forces of reason and humanism losing away to developing irrationality, authoritarianism, and malice, promoting inequality and austerity. The whole world includes a stake inside a triumph for rationality, liberty, democracy, and humanism.

In January 2015, Yanis Varoufakis, an economics professor teaching in Austin, Tx, was elected to the Greek parliament with more votes than every other member of about As well as the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe’s Crisis and America’s Economic Future parliament. He was appointed finance minister and, in the whirlwind five weeks that adopted, everything he had warned about-the perils of the euro’s faulty design, the European Union’s shortsighted austerity insurance policies, financialized crony capitalism, American complicity and increasing authoritarianism-was confirmed as the ‘troika’ (the European Central Bank, International Monetary Account, and European Commission) stonewalled his efforts to resolve Greece’s overall economy.

Right here, Varoufakis delivers a fresh go through the history of Europe’s problems and America’s central part in it. He presents the best case against austerity, proposing concrete procedures for European countries that are necessary to handle its turmoil and avert contagion to America, China, and all of those other world. With passionate, informative, and at times humorous prose, he warns the implosion of an admittedly crisis-ridden and deeply irrational Western financial union should, and can, be avoided by any means.
