ADULTS IN THE ROOM My Battle with the European and American Deep Establishment

This audiobook walks listeners through one of the most perilous events of the second decade of this century--the effects of the global financial crisis on Greece and how close the country came to bankruptcy and ruin. Leighton Pugh narrates this work as if it were an unsolved mystery. The author was Greece's finance minister, and his account of how global powers treated him and his country is harrowing and eye opening. Speaking with a British accent, Pugh turns what might have been a dry collection of facts into a morality tale with heroes and villains. In a voice of nuanced emotion, Pugh creates muted characters to paint a vivid picture of what the author was up against as he tried to save his country.
