As the 250th anniversary of America approaches, Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis evaluates the country from an unconventional window. Instead of making economic and geopolitical analyses as he always does, this time he offers a personal and emotional assessment of the global power, the US, regarding its own life and impacts on the world.
The author's earliest memory of the US dates back to a hot afternoon in June 1968. This period marks a significant historical moment that occurred just over a year after the CIA-backed coup in Greece.
Through an Athenian perspective and his personal memories, Varoufakis conveys to the reader this global hegemon, which has shaped the entire world with its development and actions. This approach adds a different perspective to our understanding of America's profound impacts on the world, extending from the Cold War era policies to the present day.
