It’s hard to look on the bright side when you are living in a perpetual decline not only of your material world but of your very dignity, and in a daily erosion of hope. However, there is always a bright side and the worse conditions and crises always have a kernel of hope in them, a flicker of light in the dimness.
It was through the crisis that we started to hear some sane and sensible voices among all the foolish idiocy pertaining, particularly within the political classes of the whole of Europe. One such voice of clear and reasoned sanity that we were lucky to discover through this crisis, was that of Professor Yanis Varoufkis.
You don’t need to be an Economist to understand his arguments and realize, that hey! This guy knows what he’s talking about. His latest book, The Global Minotaur is a case in point. If you want to understand just why the world has not only spiraled out of kilter, but how (dare I say easily?) this could all change, I would recommend reading this book.
