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.
