Description

As the eurozone crisis is unfolding, threatening in the process to infect the global economy, the debate currently raging in Europe (on how to tackle the cascading defaults and insolvencies) has become relevant worldwide. Varoufakis suggests that it is impossible to understand what is going on in Europe today without first grasping the state in which the global economy finds itself in the post-2008 era. Moreover, he wants to argue that the solution the Europeans are struggling to conjure up cannot be independent of the manner in which the world economy must be restructured.
