THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
The most recognizable economist on the planet, Yanis Varoufakis, makes his case for reforming an EU that is currently failing to support its weakest citizens. In this stunning account of Europe's economic rise and fall, Varoufakis highlights the weaknesses of the European Union's design – a design that was conceived after World War II and is responsible for a fragmented Europe and the resurgence of racist extremism. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, the response of the political elite ensured that the weakest citizens of the weakest countries paid the price for the bankers' mistakes. Drawing from his personal experience in negotiations with eurozone financiers, and offering concrete policies for reforming Europe, the former Greek Finance Minister shows how we created this mess and points the way out. And the Weak Suffer What They Must? underscores our history to tell us what must be done to save European capitalism and democracy from the brink. With the future of Europe under intense scrutiny post-Brexit, this is the book to read to explain the structural weaknesses of Europe and how to fix them. 'If you ever doubt what is at stake in Europe – read Varoufakis's account.' Guardian
