And the Weak Suffer What They Must?
**THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER**<BR><BR> The most recognisable economist on the planet, Yanis Varoufakis, puts forth his case to reform an EU that currently fails it weakest citizens.<BR><BR> In this startling account of Europe's economic rise and catastrophic fall, Varoufakis pinpoints the flaws in the European Union's design - a design thought up after the Second World War, and one responsible for Europe's fragmentation and resurgence of racist extremism.<BR><BR> When the financial crisis struck in 2008, the political elite's response ensured it would be the weakest citizens of the weakest nations that paid the price for the bankers' mistakes. Drawing on his personal experience of negotiations with the eurozone's financiers, and offering concrete policies to reform Europe, the former finance minister of Greece shows how we concocted this mess and points our way out of it. <BR><BR>And The Weak Suffer What They Must? highlights our history to tell us what we must do to save European capitalism and democracy from the abyss. With the future of Europe under intense scrutiny after Brexit, this is the must-read book to explain Europe's structural flaws and how to fix them.<BR><BR> 'If you ever doubt what is at stake in Europe - read Varoufakis's account' Guardian

Raise Your Soul
An intimate portrait of Yanis Varoufakis's political awakening, told through the history of his extraordinary family'Gripping and unforgettable. It reads like a thriller' BRIAN ENODramatic in scope and deep in feeling, Raise Your Soul traces three generations swept up in the whirlwind of history, across a century of occupation, civil war, Cold War fracture and economic crisis, from 1924 to the present.At its heart are Eleni, Anna, Trisevgeni, Georgia and Danaë - the women who shaped the visionary economist most, and whose resilience and courage inspire us to resist the forces of authoritarianism that still haunt our world.'Written with a historian's grasp of events, an economist's rationalisation of how things work and, most of all, a storyteller's understanding of the human condition, this is not just Varoufakis's story, but ours' IRVINE WELSH'Beautiful and inspiring, I couldn't put it down' ROSIE HOLT'Fierce ... to sit with Varoufakis's words is a gift' ESTHER ANATOLITIS

Der globale Minotaurus
Globalisierung, Gier und fehlende Bankenregulierung - sie alle wurden für die Krise der Weltwirtschaft verantwortlich gemacht. In Wahrheit sind dies nur Nebenschauplätze eines weit größeren Dramas. Eines Dramas, das in der Weltwirtschaftskrise von 1929 wurzelt und bereits seit den 1970-Jahren auf offener Bühne spielt: als die Welt wider besseres Wissen begann, mit ihrem Geld den "Globalen Minotaurus" Amerika zu nähren - so wie einst die Athener dem mythischen Fabeltier auf Kreta Tribute zollten. Heute erfüllen die USA ihre Rolle als Stabilisator der Weltwirtschaft nicht mehr und die Konsequenzen zeigen sich allerorten. Sie machen vor allem eines klar: Stabilität in der Weltwirtschaft ist nicht umsonst zu haben; sie erfordert historische Entscheidungen - wie nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als die Hegemonialstellung Amerikas begann. Statt hektischer Rettungsaktionen mit immer kürzerem Verfallsdatum ist eine grundlegende Debatte über Stabilitätspolitik, ist ein Neuanfang unvermeidlich.

Adults In The Room
** The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller**<BR><BR>'One of the greatest political memoirs of all time' Guardian<BR><BR>What happens when you take on the European establishment? <BR><BR>Read as world-famous, provocative economist, and former Greece finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, blows the lid on his battle with EU officials over the Greek debt crisis. <BR><BR> Varoufakis sparked one of the most spectacular and controversial battles in recent political history with his attempt to renegotiate Greece's relationship with the European Union.

Adults In The Room is an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship, hypocrisy, collusion and betrayal that will shake the European and economic establishment to its foundations. <BR><BR>Varoufakis is sending out an urgent wake-up call to renew European democracy before it is too late.<BR><BR>**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

Ein Anderes Jetzt
Wie sähe eine gerechte und gleichberechtigte Gesellschaft aus? In Ein Anderes Jetzt gibt der weltbekannte Ökonom Yanis Varoufakis darauf eine radikale und subversive Antwort. Ist ein liberaler Sozialismus machbar? Gibt es Wohlstand und Wachstum ohne den Ruin der Erde? Sind wir in der Lage, eine gute Gesellschaft trotz unserer Fehler zu schaffen?Stellen Sie sich vor, es ist 2025. Als Folge der Finanzkrise von 2008 ist eine globale politische Bewegung entstanden, durch die die Gesellschaft, wie wir sie kennen, verändert wurde: Geld, Land, digitale Netzwerke und Politik sind wahrhaft und von Grund auf demokratisiert worden.In einem originellen Gedankenexperiment bietet der weltbekannte Ökonom Yanis Varoufakis Einblicke in diese alternative Realität. Durch die Augen von drei Protagonisten - einer libertären Ex-Bankerin, einer marxistischen Feministin und einem technisch hochbegabten Eigenbrötler - sehen wir die Genese einer Welt ohne kommerzielle Banken oder Börsen, in der die Unternehmen denen gehören, die dort arbeiten, in der es ein garantiertes Grundeinkommen gibt, globales Ungleichgewicht und Klimaveränderung sich gegenseitig ausgleichen und Wohnen ein Grundrecht ist.Radikal in Form und Vision verbindet Ein Anderes Jetzt platonischen Dialog mit Fiktion und zeigt, dass es eine Alternative zum Kapitalismus geben könnte. Die Frage ist: Wie weit würden wir gehen, um das zu erreichen?

The Global Minotaur
'The emerging rock-star of Europe's anti-austerity uprising.'<BR>Daily Telegraph <BR><BR>'A spirited book.'<BR>New Yorker<BR><BR>In this remarkable and provocative book, Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece, explodes the myth that financialisation, ineffectual regulation of banks, greed and globalisation were the root causes of both the Eurozone crisis and the global economic crisis. 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.<BR><BR>Today'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.<BR><BR>An essential account of the socio-economic events and hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it.
