Summary: Financialization, greed, ineffectively regulated banks - all have been blamed for the global economic crisis. In reality, though, these were mere subplots in a much grander, almost mythological, drama. Remarkable and provocative, The global minotaur gives an essential account of the socio-economic events that have shaped the world as we now know it, and the options available for reintroducing a modicum of reason in our irrational global economic order.
