Despite the ceasefire established on 15 February this year, after the signing of the Minsk peace agreements, eastern Ukraine was the scene of escalating violence in early June. The intensity of the fighting then decreased, but there is still bloody clashes taking place regularly.

The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the Global Economy.
Yanis Varoufakis

In this remarkable and provocative book, Yanis Varoufakis explodes the myth that financialisation, ineffectual regulation of banks, greed and globalisation were the root causes of 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. Just as the Athenians maintained a steady flow of tributes to the Cretan beast, so the ‘rest of the world’ began sending incredible amounts of capital to America and Wall Street. Thus, the Global Minotaur became the ‘engine’ that pulled the world economy from the early 1980s to 2008.

Today’s crisis in Europe, the heated debates about austerity versus further fiscal stimuli in the US, the clash between China’s authorities and the Obama administration on exchange rates are the inevitable symptoms of the weakening Minotaur; of a global ‘system’ which is now as unsustainable as it is imbalanced. Going beyond this, Varoufakis lays out the options available to us for reintroducing a modicum of reason into a highly irrational global economic order.

An essential account of the socio-economic events and hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it.

Since I got unemployed I've been reading a lot. When I first came here to UK we bought a bunch of small kids books so we could improve our English. Two years after all of them are read. This last Sunday we went back to the library and bought discarded books, 5 for one pound. First one is done, ''Kill me Once'' by Jon Orborne and now starting ''Deception'' by Jonathan Kellerman. All thrillers...lol
