Reddit mentions of The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the Global Economy

It is and I barely understand it, this book does an amazing job of laying out the policies after WWII and how we've gone into nutty denial in maintaining trade deficits .... I HIGHLY reccomend it for anyone interested in this topic or global economics in general. Like I said I got a good healthy understanding of the background from this book but halfway In I got pretty lost, but Im not tremendously smrt ;) still highly reccomend it...

I know... Ναι η αμαζον έχει άθλιες συνθήκες εργασίας στις αποθήκες της. Απο την άλλη στον Ελευθερουδάκη το 11 για παράδειγμα τους είχανε κοντά 3 μήνες απλήρωτους. Οι διάφορες στη τιμή του βιβλίου παραμένουν τεράστιες. Το βιβλίο στην Ελλάδα είναι πανάκριβο. Ψωνίζω γύρω στα 4 με 5 βιβλία το μηνά, εάν επέλεγα να τα αγοράσω απο Ελλάδα θα έπαιρνα ένα.

Μπορείς να μου εξηγήσεις πως ενα ελληνικό βιβλίο στο site της εκδοτικής εταιρίας του είναι πιο ακριβό απο οτι σε σχεδόν οποιοδήποτε άλλο site του εξωτερικού?

Let's get it started then. What would you be interested in reading? I have some options on my reading list, maybe you are interested. If not, you can also suggest some titles and then we can decide.

• On China, Henry Kissinger I read his book on world order a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed it a lot. He played a major role in reestablishing diplomatic relations with China, so I think this might turn out to be an interesting read.
  
• The Glorious Cause, Robert Middlekauff This US history book spans the period prior to the independence up to it's aftermath (1763-1789). Chronologically speaking, it is the first book in the Oxford series on the history of the United States. I have heard great things about this series, in particular McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom. I plan to read the whole series little by little.
  
• The Global Minotaur, Yanis Varoufakis I learned about this book by reading his more recent book And the Weak Suffer What They Must?. This is more of a history of political economy, and covers the period from the end of WWII to the 2008 crisis. As far as I know, Global Minotaur covers the same period as the book I read but focuses more on the US than Europe. I'm not an economist, so there are some things I wasn't able to understand, but for the most part I had no problem at all and enjoyed it quite a bit.
  
  
• Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell I learned about this book reading a collection of essays by Chomsky entitled on Anarchism. Here, Chomsky talks about some rare "truly socialist" movement that appeared in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. This movement was crushed by both Franco's military coup and the Soviet army. Orwell fought there and this book narrates his experience. Given the great experience I had reading 1984, I think this could be a very interesting read.
  
  
• The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand I have hear many things for and against this author, but I have never read it. I have also heard that this book is better from a literary standpoint than Atlas Shrugged, and also was written earlier, so this could be a good starting point.
