And the Weak Suffer What They Must? by Yanis Varoufakis
The crisis in Europe is not over - it's getting worse. In this narrative of Europe's economic rise and spectacular fall, the author, former finance minister of Greece, shows that the origins of the recent collapse go far deeper than our leaders are prepared to admit - and that we have done nothing so far to fix them.
If you ever doubt what is at stake in Europe, read Varoufakis’s account * Guardian *
An outstanding economist and political analystHis remarkable talents are fully on display in his recent study of Europe’s crisis, a most revealing and perceptive analysis of the development of the global economy in the past half century and their grim consequences now threatening Western societies -- Noam Chomsky
An absolutely splendid book… What Yanis really shows is that the European project had a democratic deficit from the origin and design… The Thucydides of our time -- Jeffrey Sachs
One of my few heroes...his achievements are incredibly important…to save what is worth fighting for in Europe…Yanis tried to do the right thing – to remain within the EU and disturb from within. That is why he was such a threat…wonderfully written, complex, a book which is set to provoke our rage…to make us think, and that’s what we need today. As long as people like Yanis are around, there still is hope -- Slavoj Zizek

A very, very clever person, and in the basic argument about what’s been going on in Europe I think he’s right -- Martin Wolf
A devastating account -- Andrew Marr
A scholar, writer, philosopher of clarity, insight, generosity and engaging prose, not to mention integrity and courage -- James Galbraith
A brilliant economist * Bloomberg *
Few finance ministers have such a talent for economics as Yanis Varoufakis -- Joseph Stiglitz, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics
Highly readable. It is also important, outlining a perspective on global economics that influences policy thinking in broader circles than the radical left ... deeply instructive * Financial Times *
The most interesting man in the world * Business Insider *
The emerging rock star of Europe’s anti-austerity uprising * Telegraph *
It is important to take note of the ideas that Varoufakis continues to espouse … the essence of [his] agenda was – and remains – largely correct -- Mohamed El-Erian
A man of integrity and intellectual honesty … a superb monetary economist whose credentials outshine those who have bewitched European governmental elites… His economic logic was irrefutable -- Professor Michael Brenner
He writes with great panache ... and in a gripping style … One of the things that makes this book enjoyable is that Varoufakis makes much of the role of personalities * TLS *
An account of how the forces of capital have prevailed over the common good ... visionary * The Times *
A global celebrity * Economist *
The biggest disaster for any of the BBC’s news and current affairs slate would be The Yanis Varoufakis Show on another network -- Mark Lawson * Guardian *
While this British Conservative minister might not agree with every single position adopted by this Greek radical socialist, I cannot but admire and applaud his courage and passion on behalf of genuinely progressive causes -- Michael Gove * Sunday Times *
