'One of the greatest political memoirs of all time' - Guardian
What happens when you take on the European establishment?
Read as world-famous, provocative economist, and former Greece finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, blows the lid on his battle with EU officials over the Greek debt crisis.
Varoufakis sparked one of the most spectacular and controversial battles in recent political history with his attempt to renegotiate Greece's relationship with the European Union. Yet despite the mass support of the Greek people, and the simple logic of his arguments, he succeeded only in provoking the fury of Europe's political, financial, and media elite.
Exposing the real business taking place behind the EU's closed doors, Varoufakis reveals all in this fearless, personal account. Adults In The Room is an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship, hypocrisy, collusion, and betrayal that will shake the European and economic establishment to its foundations.
Varoufakis is sending out an urgent wake-up call to renew European democracy before it is too late.
ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Adults In The Room by Yanis Varoufakis is praised as a compelling political memoir that offers a detailed and candid account of the power dynamics within the European Union. Critics highlight its deep personal insight, due in part to Varoufakis's use of personal recordings and diaries, revealing the duplicity and cynicism among EU leaders. The memoir is both a personal reflection on Varoufakisβs experiences during Greece's financial crisis and a broader critique of the eurozone's handling of economic and political crises, making it a crucial read for understanding contemporary European politics.
