He is perhaps a sconce more to the left politically than me, but he has my sympathies and his description of the functioning of the American system in world finance from world war II to the present (at least to about 2010) is superb. I would love to see him update his views to 2016 because the mythical beast he declared mortally wounded in the crash of 2008 still, it seems, has some life left in it, but its thrashing around has left deep social and political marks on both the U.S. in the present election season and throughout Europe. If you are looking for an overview of the global macro economic situation this would be a good place to start. Non technical and an easy read. The author tells a great tale. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The rise and fall of America's global economic empire *by C***D on April 17, 2019* Utilising the metaphor of a crazed, half-human monster that regularly devours human sacrifices to ensures it docility in its labyrinth prison, Varoufakis paints a lurid picture of the US-led global economy that crashed so spectacularly in 2008 and has been revived but kept in the ICU ever since. Varoufakis summarizes the arc of the US economy in three chunks. He starts in the lead up to the Crash of 1929, the war-inspired upsurge of America to global economic and military eminence under the Global Plan that lasted until 1971, and finally its replacement by the hell-bent push for more and more in the era of the Global Minotaur that collapsed in 2008. Varoufakis uses a scholarly, though easy-to-follow, and engaging style to bring the reader into the tumultuous events and personalities that defined each period covered.It's an entertaining educational work that's worthy of a thorough study, just don't look here for hope or prescriptions to fix capitalism's many continuing ailments. Ostensibly this was written for the lay student of economics, but a rudimentary grounding of economics will arm the reader well as Varoufakis doesn't provide a glossary of repeatedly used terms throughout the book. The Zed 2015 edition has many tiny charts and graphs in shades of grey that are hard to clearly read or discern their implied import. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yanis is Simply The Best *by M***E on September 26, 2020* This is the third book I have read by this author. He simply nails it with his overview of the capital markets. I initially heard several interviews with him and became hooked. I am a fan of his for life! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16343212-the-global-minotaur-america-europe-and-the-future-of-world](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16343212-the-global-minotaur-america-europe-and-the-future-of-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
