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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday'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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential account of the socio-economic events and hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yanis Varoufakis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780320159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780320151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Yanis Varoufakis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937965408511,"sku":"9781780320151","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5242db99-966b-4fe2-b2f1-e6bfcc7f34fd.jpg?v=1681432948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-global-minotaur-yanis-varoufakis-9781780320151","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
