Looting Greece examines how and why the Syriza party ended up agreeing to a deal much worse than its political predecessors in 2010 and 2012. Placing the Greek events of 2015 in broader historical perspective, the book argues a radical new neoliberal initiative in Europe has emerged.

“In this brilliant book, Rasmus shows that the EU is a finely honed device for looting its poorest members of their wealth and their democracy.” PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

“an analytically clear, historical account of the European and Greek debt crises. It emphasizes the centre and periphery relations between the North and South of Europe in the European Monetary Union (EMU) institutional framework, which reminds us of the interwar gold standard regime. It is an interesting contribution.”
