In this fearless account, Varoufakis reveals all: an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship, hypocrisy, collusion and betrayal that will shake the deep establishment to its foundations.As is now clear, the same policies that required the tragic and brutal suppression of Greece's democratic uprising have led directly to authoritarianism, populist revolt and instability throughout the Western world.Adults In The Room is an urgent wake-up call to renew European democracy before it is too late 610 20 European Economic Community 610 24 Europeiska unionen 650 0 Eurozone 650 7 Europeiskt ekonomiskt samarbete|2sao 650 7 Ekonomiska förhållanden|2sao 651 0 Greece|xForeign economic relations 651 0 European Union countries|xForeign economic relations 651 0 Greece|xEconomic conditions|y21st century 651 4 EU-länderna 651 4 Grekland 907 00 170706
