Download And the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe's Crisis and America's Economic Future AudioBook Free

A number 1 Weekend Times best owner (UK) A titanic challenge is being waged for Europe's integrity and soul, with the makes of reason and humanism dropping out to growing irrationality, authoritarianism, and malice, promoting inequality and austerity. The whole world has a stake in a triumph for rationality, liberty, democracy, and humanism. In January 2015, Yanis Varoufakis, an economics teacher teaching in Austin, Tx, was elected to the Greek parliament with more votes than every other member of parliament. He was appointed finance minister, and, in the whirlwind five calendar months that implemented, everything he had warned about - the perils of the euro's faulty design, the Western Union's shortsighted austerity procedures, financialized crony capitalism, American complicity and rising authoritarianism - was affirmed as the "troika" (the Western Central Standard bank, International Monetary Account, and European Fee) stonewalled his work to resolve Greece's economic problems. Here, Varoufakis delivers a fresh go through the record of Europe's problems and America's central role in it. He presents the ultimate case against austerity, proposing concrete procedures for Europe that are essential to address its problems and avert contagion to America, China, and the rest of the world. With excited, informative, and sometimes funny prose, he warns that the implosion of any admittedly crisis-ridden and deeply irrational Western financial union should and can be averted by any means.
