The economy as I explain to my daughter

Why is there so much inequality? And why do economic theories become part of the problems instead of solutions? In his answers to his daughter's questions, the global economist Yanis Varoufakis uses personal stories and famous myths to explain why economics is the most important drama of our time, and why it has the power to change our world. This book inspires readers to care about economic ideas and processes by revealing that they are the force that controls our beliefs and ambitions. It tells how economic power emerged from the shadows of political and military power, perhaps before gradually dominating human societies. The book combines history, literature, science fiction films, and realistic economic analysis.
