Synopsis "El Minotauro Global "

Yanis Varoufakis destruye el mito de que la financiarización, la regulación ineficaz de los bancos y la globalización hayan sido las causas de la crisis económica. Más bien, los considera la consecuencia de un fenómeno que nació en los setenta, que llama el «Minotauro global». Tanto los griegos como el resto del mundo mantuvieron un flujo constante de tributos a la bestia, enviando grandes sumas de capital a Estados Unidos y a Wall Street, y convirtiendo al Minotauro global en el motor de la economía mundial. La crisis en Europa, los debates sobre austeridad frente a estímulos fiscales en EE.UU., y el choque entre las autoridades chinas y el gobierno de Obama sobre los tipos de cambio son el resultado de un sistema insostenible y descompensado. Varoufakis expone las opciones que tenemos a nuestra disposición para volver a poner un mínimo de sensatez en un sistema irracional.
«Uno de los economistas más inteligentes y originales del mundo nos brinda la guía más comprensible sobre la crisis.» The Economist
