Building on his work as a leading member of the renowned Research on Money & Finance group Costas Lapavitsas presents a searing critique of the neoliberal nature of the Eurozone & ruthlessly dissects the roots of the current financial turmoil & the European debt crisis. Lapavitsas argues that European austerity is contradictory because it leads to recession & worsens the burden of debt further imperilling banks & the monetary union itself. Controversially Lapavitsas suggests that impoverished states would be wise to quit the Euro & pursue debtor-led sovereign & democratic default that would lead to deep cancellation of debt. Lapavitsas envisages a restructuring relying on the forces of organized labor & civil society drawing on the theoretical tradition of political economy & heterodox economics & treading a careful path between declining Europeanism & nascent nationalism. ...

Described both as the Hobbes of our age" & as "the philosophical godfather of Nazism " Carl Schmitt was a brilliant & controversial political theorist whose doctrine of political leadership & critique of liberal democratic ideals distinguish him as one of the most original contributors to modern political theory.

First published in 1923 it has often been viewed as an attempt to destroy parliamentarism; in fact it was Schmitts attempt to defend the Weimar constitution. The introduction to this new translation places the book in proper historical context & provides a useful guide to several aspects of Weimar political culture.
