Adults In The Room: My Battle With Europe`s Deep Establishment

Product Description

` One of the greatest political memoirs of all time` (Guardian) -- The Sunday Times Number 1 Bestseller What happens when you take on the establishment? In this blistering, personal account, world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis blows the lid on Europe`s hidden agenda & exposes what actually goes on in its corridors of power. Varoufakis sparked one of the most spectacular & controversial battles in recent political history when, as finance minister of Greece, he attempted to re-negotiate his country’s relationship with the EU. Despite the mass support of the Greek people & the simple logic of his arguments, he succeeded only in provoking the fury of Europe’s political, financial & media elite. But the true story of what happened is almost entirely unknown – not least because so much of the EU’s real business takes place behind closed doors. In this fearless account, Varoufakis reveals all: an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship, hypocrisy, collusion & betrayal that will shake the deep establishment to its foundations. As is now clear, the same policies that required the tragic & brutal suppression of Greece’s democratic uprising have led directly to authoritarianism, populist revolt & instability throughout the Western world. Adults In The Room is an urgent wake-up call to renew European democracy before it is too late.
