Economics dominates everyone’s life, yet most people know little about it. Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s former minister of finance, is here to help. In a world where jargon often creates barriers to understanding, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: Or, How Capitalism Worksand How It Fails uses plain language to demystify the global economic system. Varoufakis writes in the way a father would talk to his teenage daughter, such as explaining inflation and deflation by showing how cigarettes became a form of currency in German prisoner-of-war camps.
