«El minotauro global» is the economic essay by Yanis Varoufakis, published by Debolsillo in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
Varoufakis argues that financialization and globalization did not cause the crisis, but were symptoms of an imbalance born in the 1970s: the «Minotauro global». The flow of capital towards the United States and Wall Street sustained the world economy until it generated the European crisis, the debate on austerity and currency tensions with China.
Originally published in English in 2011 as «The Global Minotaur». Spanish translation by Carlos Valdés and Celia Recarey.
Aimed at readers interested in economics, politics and analysis of the financial crisis.
