The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the World Economy: Economic Controversies
Autor Yanis Varoufakis Cuvânt înainte de Paul Masonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2015
In
this
provocative
book,
Yanis
Varoufakis—the
fiery
former
finance
minister
in
Greek’s
new
Syriza-led
government—explodes
the
myth
that
financialization,
ineffective
regulation
of
banks,
and
generalized
greed
and
globalization
were
the
root
causes
of
the
global
economic
crisis.
Rather,
he
shows,
they
are
symptoms
of
a
much
deeper
malaise,
one
that
can
be
traced
all
the
way
back
to
the
Great
Depression,
then
through
the
stagflation
of
the
1970s,
when
a
“Global
Minotaur”
was
born.
Today’s
deepening
crisis
in
Europe,
Varoufakis
shows,
is
just
one
of
the
inevitable
signs
of
the
weakening
Minotaur—of
a
global
system
that
is
now
as
unsustainable
as
it
is
unbalanced.
Rather
than
simply
diagnose
a
problem,
however,
Varoufakis
also
offers
a
solution,
a
program
for
introducing
reason
into
what
has
become
a
perniciously
irrational
economic
order.

Recenzii
"If
you
want
to
know
how
serious
the
current
crisis
is,
you
should
read
his
book.
With
much
eloquence,
Yanis
Varoufakis
argues
that
the
current
financial
problems
are
connected
to
the
emerging
fault
lines
of
the
international
monetary
system.
The
US
(the
Minotaur)
used
to
govern
the
international
monetary
system,
but
no
more;
and
this
crucially
means
that
there
is
no
surplus
recycling
mechanism
that
can
reliably
stabilise
the
world
economy.
The
elephant
in
the
room,
so
to
speak,
is
a
stumbling
Minotaur."
The emerging rock-star of Europe's anti-austerity uprising
This trenchant and readable critique sets the eurozone crisis within a much longer context.
A spirited book.
His argument has an ambitious sweep.
Yanis Varoufakis is a rare economist: skilled at explaining ideas, happy to join in public debates and able to put his discipline in a broader context.
In the most comprehensive guide to the contemporary economic crisis yet written, Yanis Varoufakis traces out the path from post-war US economic supremacy to the current predicament.
Clearly and strongly written, with logical organization building towards simple conclusions, the book is an easy yet rewarding read ... perhaps should become the standard way we think about the nature of our increasingly dysfunctional world economy.
If you want to know how serious the current crisis is, you should read this book. With much eloquence, Yanis Varoufakis argues that the current financial problems are connected to the emerging fault lines of the international monetary system.
Yanis is one of the best, brightest and most innovative economists on the planet.
The book is one of those exceedingly rare publications of which one can say they are urgent, timely and absolutely necessary.
Descriere
In this provocative book, Yanis Varoufakis—the fiery former finance minister in Greek’s new Syriza-led government—explodes the myth that financialization, ineffective regulation of banks, and generalized greed and globalization were the root causes of the global economic crisis.

Today’s deepening crisis in Europe, Varoufakis shows, is just one of the inevitable signs of the weakening Minotaur—of a global system that is now as unsustainable as it is unbalanced. Rather than simply diagnose a problem, however, Varoufakis also offers a solution, a program for introducing reason into what has become a perniciously irrational economic order.
