And the Weak Suffer What They Must
by Yanis Varoufakis
(Bodley Head, £16.99)
IN THIS book, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis gives us his thoughts on the formation of the EU, the creation of the ill-fated euro and how the current economic crisis can be resolved.
In doing so, he manages to convey complex economic concepts in terms everyone can understand, an example being the parallel he draws between the minotaur of Greek mythology — an animal that fed on human flesh — to the US economy post-1971.
