Description
Austerity: A Rousing Challenge to Modern Economics In 2015, Yanis Varoufakis found himself at the forefront of a bitter economic debate as Greece's finance minister. In this thought-provoking book, he recounts his experiences and challenges the assumptions that underpin austerity policies. Varoufakis presents a compelling case for a more nuanced approach to economics, one that prioritises human well-being over debt repayment. With unflinching honesty, he shares his battles with the bureaucracy that sought to ignore the human cost of its actions. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern economics and its impact on democracy. Written by Varoufakis, selected from his books And the Weak Suffer What They Must? and Adults in the Room, Austerity offers a fresh perspective on the economic landscape.
