As the Eurozone teeters on the edge of disaster, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis exposes the flaws that make the currency union's collapse inevitable. Stripped of economic safeguards and democratic accountability, Europe's grand experiment is a house of cards waiting to fall. When crisis strikes, Varoufakis argues, the Continent turns against its own people, fueling despair and bigotry. But he offers a path forward, calling on the world to intervene and save Europe from its own folly before the global economy pays the price.
