His sense of humour
Revisado: 04-04-24
I enjoyed listening to him. David reading it made it a whole lot more authentic. I found it quite surprising how well articulated his words were; those random intrusive thoughts that often cross most of our minds but David penned them down capturing their essence in its raw form. It’s a good listen.

In Adults in the Room, Yanis Varoufakis exposes the shocking reality of how power is wielded behind the scenes at the EU - and argues that only radical reform can save it from collapse. Yanis Varoufakis became globally famous when was elected finance minister of Greece with a specific mandate to say no to the EU: to reject the forced loans and crushing austerity forced upon his country by the Eurozone.

A rare marriage of political insight and literary flair
Revisado: 03-24-19
I knew very well before going into this book that Varoufakis was a learned progressive economist given an impossible job fixing broken country. I had no idea however that he is also a gripping author, taking inspiration from countless classic tragedies to help echo the one Greece went through during his tenure ( with a healthy dose of sarcasm towards the adults themselves of course ).
As expected, the book provides uncompromising insight to the inner workings of the European elite in a particularly interesting period of defiance and resistance to their rule. Quelling this crisis with the hubris, manipulation and incompetence that Varoufakis accuses the powers that be of should raise the eyebrow of any concerned Europeanist, irrespective of political preference.
The narration was very well done too, accents weren’t obnoxious and didn’t take me out of it at any given point. Although, I will say that as a Greek speaker some of the pronunciations did leave a little to be desired...Its to be expected of course and I think the narrator tried his best.
