description: What happens when you take on the establishment? In this blistering personal account world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis blows the lid on Europes hidden agenda and exposes what actually goes on in its corridors of power.Varoufakis sparked one of the most spectacular and controversial battles in recent political history when as finance minister of Greece he attempted to renegotiate his countrys relationship with the EU. Despite the mass support of the Greek people and the simple logic of his arguments he succeeded only in provoking the fury of Europes political financial and media elite. But the true story of what happened is almost entirely unknown  not least because so much of the EUs real business takes place behind closed doors.In this fearless account Varoufakis reveals all: an extraordinary tale of brinkmanship hypocrisy collusion and betrayal that will shake the deep establishment to its foundations.As is now clear the same policies that required the tragic and brutal suppression of Greeces democratic uprising have led directly to authoritarianism populist revolt and instability throughout the Western world.'Adults In The Room' is an urgent wake-up call to renew European democracy before it is too late.
