How Dare They?: The Euro, the Crisis and the Great Hold-Up

The Eyjafjallajökull is a natural phenomenon. The economic crisis is not. There is no need for bewilderment about uncontrollable forces here, but for indignation. Bankers, money-guzzlers and bubble blowers gained even more power after the crisis of 2008... In a big hold-up, millions of euros were once again transferred to the millionaires. In Europe, the speculators have meanwhile acquired imperial status, and are dutifully called "markets". As if they were Emperor Nero, they decide - with thumbs up or down - about the future of entire peoples. From Greece and Italy to our country, they are again demanding that you and I pay for the crisis, for the second time. How dare they!

How dare they? brings to life the spirit of Tijl Uilenspiegel and the Beggars, the countercurrent that wants to reclaim democracy, freedom and economy from the priests and business cabinets of capitalist Europe.

'I welcome this book, which I would like to label all the more as "necessary", as a warm and renewed beginning in the fight against asocialism.' - Dimitri Verhulst
