THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Yanis Varoufakis, internationally recognized economist, writes to his daughter to educate her about the dangers of capitalism. 'Why is there so much inequality?' asks Xenia to her father. Answering her questions with a series of accessible and tender letters, Varoufakis informs her about what economy and capitalism are and why they are so dangerous. Using memories from her childhood and a variety of well-known fairy tales - from Oedipus and Faust to Frankenstein and The Matrix - Varoufakis turns 'Talking To My Daughter' into an enjoyable and interesting read, without avoiding harsh truths. The former finance minister of Greece explains everything you need to understand why the economy is the most important drama of our time. Answering his daughter's seemingly simple questions, Varoufakis clarifies our troubled world with remarkable clarity and childlike innocence, as he inspires us to make it better.
'Utterly accessible, deeply human, and startlingly original - a powerful democratic tool at the right time' - Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine
