Economics as I explain it to my daughter

Why is there so much inequality? And why are economic theories part of the problem rather than the solution?

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 pay attention to economic ideas and processes by revealing that they are the force that shapes our beliefs and aspirations. It recounts how economic power emerged from the shadows of political and military power, perhaps before gradually taking control of human societies. The book blends history, literature, science fiction films, and realistic economic analysis.
