Histoire
In January 2015, Yanis Varoufakis, an economics professor teaching in Austin, Texas, was elected to the Greek parliament with more votes than any other member of parliament. He was appointed finance minister, and, in the whirlwind five months that followed, everything he had warned about was confirmed as the "troika" (the European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and European Commission) stonewalled his efforts to resolve Greece's economic crisis.

Histoire
Technofeudalism says Yanis Varoufakis, is the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world, and is the greatest current threat to the liberal individual, to our efforts to avert climate catastrophe—and to democracy itself. It also lies behind the new geopolitical tensions, especially the New Cold War between the United States and China. Drawing on stories from Greek myth and pop culture, from Homer to Mad Men, Varoufakis explains this revolutionary transformation: how it enslaves our minds, how it rewrites the rules of global power, and, ultimately, what it will take overthrow it.

Histoire
Blackshirts and Reds explores some of the big issues of our time: fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. These terms are often bandied about but seldom explored in the original and exciting way that has become Michael Parenti's trademark. Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege.

Histoire
Yanis Varoufakis has appeared before heads of nations, assemblies of experts, and countless students around the world. Now, he faces his most important - and difficult - audience yet. Using clear language and vivid examples, Varoufakis offers a series of letters to his young daughter about the economy: how it operates, where it came from, how it benefits some while impoverishing others. Taking bankers and politicians to task, he explains the historical origins of inequality among and within nations, questions the pervasive notion that everything has its price, and shows why economic instability is a chronic risk.

Histoire
As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: The belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world. In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Author James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.

Histoire
Imagine if Occupy and Extinction Rebellion actually won. In Another Now, world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis shows us what such a world would look like. Far from being a fantasy, he describes how it could have come about—and might yet. But would we really want it? Varoufakis’s boundary-breaking new book confounds expectations of what the good society would look like and reveals the uncomfortable truth about our desire for a better world.

Description
A number one Sunday Times best seller transformed into an illuminating, dynamic audiobook.
What happens when you take on the establishment? In Adults in the Room, renowned economist and former finance minister of Greece Yanis Varoufakis gives the full, blistering account of his momentous clash with the mightiest economic and political forces on earth.
After being swept into power with the leftwing Syriza party, Varoufakis attempts to renegotiate Greece's relationship with the EU - and sparks a spectacular battle with global implications. Varoufakis' 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, DC. He consults and quarrels with Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron, Christine Legarde, the economists Larry Summers and Jeffrey Sachs, and others as he struggles to relieve Greece's debt crisis without resorting to punishing austerity measures. But, despite the mass support of the Greek people and the simple logic of Varoufakis' arguments, he succeeds only in provoking the fury of Europe's elite.
Varoufakis' 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. Adults in the Room is an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship, hypocrisy, collusion, and betrayal that will shake the global establishment to its foundations.
A must-listen for anyone interested in current events and the delicate web of global economics.

A Lesson In Human Self Interest
This read was a confirmation of the slings and arrows I face in the midst of activism regarding rapacious economics and the forces of industry that exploit civic and national artists. As Hannah Arendt wrote, ‘There is a great difference between entertainment and culture’. One commodifies, lacking consequential edification and is quickly discarded. The other, however, is instructive, virtuous, reflective of civil life and lasts well into antiquity. There are far greater exigencies that we, a species endowed with responsibility, opportunity and agency, need to wrestle with and should we tarry, subdue. But, our wholesale desecration of the sacred, discarnate and altogether necessary components of human nature and experience, has left us not only wanting but most agreeably, will lead us to the nihilistic ends of our ignorant construction. Truly sad is our refusal to acknowledge the recurring, existential theme that cryptically beckons us toward low-resolution imitations and lecherous chimeras. ‘A riddle, wrapped in mystery, inside an enigma’ belongs not to the individual but to an entire species. We either shall rise above this recrudescence or, we simply shall not. Thank you for the education, Mr. Varoufakis!

Absolutely brilliant! A must read for all students of political economy
Superb and more relevant today than ever before when juxtaposed against the saga of Brexit. A tour de force in the genre and a fly on the wall thriller.

Flabbergasting, well written, important
When you feel a little lost about the economics in the middle, stick with it anyway. You will still get the essence of the book, which an uncommonly clear picture of the struggle of our times.

Modern Day Economic Horror Genre
Spells out well the horrors of run away government spending. Ironically the author doesn’t seem to learn that lesson himself and succeeds only in 550 pages of self pity.
