Description
"The Global Minotaur" by Yanis Varoufakis is an incisive analysis of the global economic system, exploring its evolution and inherent instabilities. Varoufakis draws on Greek mythology to explain the metaphor of the "Global Minotaur," representing the U.S. economy's central role as a global surplus absorber after World War II. He delves into how this dynamic sustained global stability for decades but eventually led to the financial crises of the 21st century. Through a blend of history, politics, and economics, the book examines the transition from the Bretton Woods system to the current era of financialized capitalism. Varoufakis provides compelling insights into the power imbalances and systemic flaws that perpetuate inequality and economic turmoil. A must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the global economy and its challenges.
