Why are some countries rich & others poor? In 1500 the income differences were small but they have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. Since then the interplay between geography globalization technological change & economic policy has determined the wealth & poverty of nations. The industrial revolution was Britains path breaking response to the challenge of globalization. Western Europe & North America joined Britain to form a club of rich nations by pursuing four polices-creating a national market by abolishing internal tariffs & investing in transportation erecting an external tariff to protect their fledgling industries from British competition banks to stabilize the currency & mobilize domestic savings for investment & mass education to prepare people for industrial work. Together these countries pioneered new technologies that have made them ever richer. Before the Industrial Revolution most of the worlds manufacturing was done in Asia but industries from Casablanca to Canton were destroyed by western competition in the nineteenth century & Asia was transformed into underdeveloped countries specializing in agriculture. The spread of economic development has been slow since modern technology was invented to fit the needs of rich countries & is ill adapted to the economic & geographical conditions of poor countries. A few countries
- Japan Soviet Russia South Korea Taiwan & perhaps China
- have nonetheless caught up with the West through creative responses to the technological challenge & with Big Push industrialization that has achieved rapid growth through investment coordination. Whether other countries can emulate the success of East Asia is a challenge for the future.

In this remarkable & provocative book Yanis Varoufakis explodes the myth that financialisation ineffectual regulation of banks greed & globalisation were the causes of the global economic crisis. Rather they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise which can be traced back 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 sent incredible amounts of capital to America & Wall Street. Thus the Global Minotaur became the engine that pulled the world economy from the early 1980s to 2008. Todays crisis in Europe the heated debates about austerity versus further fiscal stimuli in the US the clash between Chinas authorities & 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 & hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it. ...
