 And The Weak Suffer What They Must?

Europe's Crisis and America's Economic Future
Yanis Varoufakis
"The strong do as they can and the weak suffer what they must." ?Thucydides
The fate of the global economy hangs in the balance, and Europe is doing its utmost to
undermine it, to destabilize America, and to spawn new forms of authoritarianism.
Europe has dragged the world into hideous morasses twice in the last one hundred
years? it can do it again. Yanis Varoufakis, the former Finance Minister of Greece,
shows here that the Eurozone is a house of cards destined to fall without a radical
change in direction. And, if the European Union falls apart, he argues, the global
economy will not be far behind.
Once America abandoned Europe in 1971 from the dollar zone, Europe?s leaders decided
to create a monetary union of 18 nations without control of their own money, without
democratic accountability, and without a government to support the Central Bank. This
bizarre economic super-power was equipped with none of the shock absorbers
necessary to contain a financial crisis, while its design ensured that, when it came, the
crisis would be massive. When disaster hit in 2009, Varoufakis argues that Europe
turned against itself, humiliating millions of innocent citizens, driving populations to
despair, and buttressing a form of bigotry unseen since the Second World War.
In the epic battle for Europe?s integrity and soul, the forces of Reason and Humanism
will have to face down the new forms of authoritarianism. Europe?s crisis is pregnant
with radically regressive forces that have the capacity to cause a humanitarian
bloodbath while extinguishing the hope for shared prosperity for generations to come.
The principle of the greatest austerity for the European economies suffering the greatest
recessions would be quaint if it were not also the harbinger of misanthropy and racism.
Here, Varoufakis offers concrete policies that the rest of the world can take part in to
intervene and help save Europe from impending catastrophe, and presents the ultimate
case against austerity. With passionate, informative, and at times humorous prose, he
warns that the implosion of an admittedly crisis-ridden and deeply irrational European
capitalism should be avoided at all cost.

mobile camera wielding schoolgirls."- Guardian
