Adults In The Room My Battle With Europe Deep Establishment edition by Yanis Varoufakis Politics Social Sciences eBooks

"Adults in the Room" is actually a much better title than the one I use for this review, for its acerbic irony if for no other reason. But the book does show, with great clarity, that the Emperor has indeed no clothes on.
This is a book every European, or any person who cares about Europe, should read. It is part memoir, part expose, part impassioned plea for a democratic, humane, rational European Union.
Iirrationality breeds irrationality. The "I know I'm wrong but don't you dare say so" attitude, so forcefully portrayed and so minutely detailed in this book, is one of the reasons why larger and larger numbers of Europeans vote against what they regard as a lying, rotten, despotic establishment.
One other reviewer notes that Mr. Varoufakis doesn't see Mr. Schäuble as a monster, but rather as a tragic character. Be that as it may, the hubris displayed by Mr. Schäuble, Mr. Dijsselbloem and others was nothing short of monstrous.

Adults In The Room My Battle With Europe Deep Establishment edition by Yanis Varoufakis Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

So, as it turns out Yanis had a sophisticated Plan B in place but the political novices he selected as his companions were not his equals and perhaps never understood what it meant going after an amorphous opponent. I have no doubt that Greek PM Tsipras when he held a referendum on a Yes or No vote (Yes vote meaning accepting the Troika's conditions, No meaning the opposite) that he actually wished for a Yes vote so that he would not have to do the real work involved in fending off Greece from a pack of wolves. When Greeks voted No by 60%+, a naive and mostly amateurish Greek Left went into a panic mode. This was the moment of truth for Varoufakis when he realized that no men of principle were on his team. So a brilliant mind and a competent FM was totally wasted, abandoned by the same people whom he thought were for real change but obviously, they were neither his equals nor his betters. How sad to see talent wasted. On a positive note, those who wish to reform the insufferable EU and its flawed institutions now have a road map and valuable insights on how to do it. Brexiteers and freedom loving folk take notice and adjust your tactics otherwise EU slavery awaits you in perpetuity.
First an admission Yanis and I have been friends since we met in 1991, when I was doing my PhD at the University of New South Wales and he was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney. This hasn't influence my review however if I hadn't enjoyed the book, I would simply not have written one.

Having read it, I am confident that it will go down as one of the great political biographies of the 21st century. It is a work that people will turn to when they try to understand what on earth happened during our time a riveting, compelling history of a critical act in the self-inflicted decay of European civilisation.

Most political biographies are an attempt to rescue a reputation that deserved to be sullied. This one confronts the many barbs that were thrown Yanis's way, but he doesn't refrain from throwing some barbs at himself either when, on reflection, he wished he had taken a different course. That takes a courage and an honesty that I came to expect from knowing Yanis, and he did not disappoint.

As the tragedy of Syriza unfolded in 2015, I had wished that Yanis would deploy the one Big Stick he had the threat to default from Greece's unpayable loans from the IMF. On its own this was not significant, but as he explains in the book, it would in turn have triggered a cascade of defaults that would have undone Mario Dragi's program of Quantitative Easing.

He did, once, have his finger on that trigger, and decided not to pull it--to wait and leave the act to Tsipras. Looking back in this book, he now wishes he had done so. If he had, he could have forced the Troika to work with Greece on a sensible program, rather than watch them impose one which will lead to Greece becoming Europe's Somalia.

I like to think that I would have pulled that trigger. But I wasn't there in the hot seat Yanis was, and he tells the tale impeccably well. This is a cracking yarn as well as a priceless political history, with major actors--Dragi, Tsipras, Merkel and above all Schauble exposed by their own words.

They will not like to have their words and deeds documented this well, which is all the more reason you should read it.
