Rather, they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise which can be traced all the way back to the Great Crash of 1929, then on through to the 1970s: the time when a Global Minotaur was born.\n\nToday's deepening crisis in Europe is just one of the inevitable symptoms of the weakening Minotaur; of a global system which is now as unsustainable as it is imbalanced. Going beyond this, Varoufakis reveals how we might reintroduce a modicum of reason into what has become a perniciously irrational economic order.\n\nAn essential account of the socio-economic events and hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 178360610X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.178360610X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Varoufakis, Yanis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
