«And the Weak Suffer What They Must?» is Yanis Varoufakis's political economy essay, published by Penguin Random House in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek Finance Minister, analyzes the design of the European Union and the Eurozone to explain how the 2008 crisis hit the weakest citizens of the most fragile countries hardest. He denounces austerity as an irrational policy that leads to fragmentation and the rise of authoritarianism, and proposes concrete measures to reform Europe before a catastrophe.
Work originally published in 2016; this paperback edition was published in 2017. It was a number one bestseller according to The Sunday Times.
