Rather, they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise that can be traced all the way back to the Great Crash of 1929, then on through to the 1970s: the time when a \u003cem\u003eGlobal Minotaur\u003c\/em\u003e was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday's deepening crisis in Europe is just one of the inevitable symptoms of the weakening Minotaur; of a global system which is now as unsustainable as it is imbalanced.
