SummaryTable of Contents
From Italy's former Minister of Economy and Finance, a provocative and galvanizing jeremiad on the Euro crisis and global economic status quo As Europe's debt crisis persists and the aftershocks of the 2008 collapse hinder recovery across the globe, Giulio Tremonti underscores the dangers that unchecked financial markets pose to democracy, and what nations must do to protect their autonomy. Condemning what he calls "marketism" an insidious ideology that puts speculative financial markets above all else Tremonti bemoans a world in which finance, not governments, sets the rules and determines political discourse. But when finance fails, it's the people who must pay the price. An instant and enduring bestseller in Italy, Exit Strategycalls for sweeping changes in both policy and mindset. Candid and critical as few politicians have been in the aftermath of the crisis, Tremonti breaks down the systemic failures of global finance and proposes a "New Alliance" between citizens and governments to free politics from the thrall of the financial markets, and put populations back in control.
