A review by piccoline
The Global Minotaur: America, the True Origins of the Financial Crisis and the Future of the World Economy by Yanis Varoufakis

5.0

Really vivid and great explanation of not just the 2008 meltdown (and fraud) but the whole key stretch of economic history from 1900-2012. And all in less than 300 readable pages.

But let me recommend Brian Collins' sharp appreciation of Varoufakis and this book if you remain unconvinced (from the very fine Los Angeles Review of Books):
