/A VERSO INSTANT EBOOK/

As Syriza comes to power in Greece, a radical anti-capitalist
alternative to Eurozone austerity

With a preface by Paul Mason

Foreword by Oskar Lafontaine
Afterword by Alberto Garzón Espinosa

On the 25th January 2015 the Greek people voted in an election of
historic importance - not just for Greece but potentially all of Europe.
The radical party Syriza was elected and austerity and the neoliberal
agenda is being challenged. Suddenly it seems as if there /is/an
alternative. But what?

The Eurozone is in a deep and prolonged crisis. It is now clear that
monetary union is a historic failure, beyond repair—and certainly not in
the interests of Europe’s working people.

Building on the economic analysis of two of Europe’s leading thinkers,
Heiner Flassbeck and Costas Lapavitsas (a candidate standing for
election on Syriza’s list), /Against the Troika/ is the first book to
propose a strategic left-wing plan for how peripheral countries could
exit the euro. With a change in government in Greece, and looming
political transformations in countries such as Spain, this major
intervention/ /lays out a radical, anti-capitalist programme at a
critical juncture for Europe. The final three chapters offer a detailed
postmortem of the Greek catastrophe, explain what can be learned from it
- and provide a possible alternative.

/Against the Troika/ is a practical blueprint for real change in a
continent wracked by crisis and austerity.
