520 "After being swept into power with the left-wing Syriza
party, Varoufakis attempts to renegotiate Greece's
relationship with the EU--and sparks a spectacular battle,
with global implications. Varoufakis's new position sends
him ricocheting between mass demonstrations in Athens,
closed-door negotiations in drab EU and IMF offices, and
furtive meetings with power brokers in Washington, D.C. He
consults and quarrels with Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron,
Christine Lagarde, the economists Larry Summers and
Jeffrey Sachs, and others, as he struggles to resolve
Greece's debt crisis without resorting to punishing
austerity measures. But despite the mass support of the
Greek people and the simple logic of his arguments,
Varoufakis succeeds only in provoking the fury of Europe's
elite. Varoufakis's unvarnished memoir is an urgent
warning that the economic policies once embraced by the EU
and the White House have failed--and spawned
authoritarianism, populist revolt, and instability
throughout the Western world."--Inside book jacket.
