Economics as I Explain It to My Daughter - Yanis Varoufakis

Why is there so much inequality? Why are economic theories part of the problems rather than the solutions?

In answering his daughter's questions, 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 aspirations. It tells how economic power emerged from the shadows of political and military power, perhaps before it gradually took control of human societies. The book combines history, literature, science fiction films, and realistic economic analysis.
