Random House presents the audiobook edition of Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: A Brief History of Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis.
Why is there so much inequality?
In this short book, world famous economist Yanis Varoufakis sets out to answer his 11-year-old daughter Xenia's deceptively simple question. Using personal stories and famous myths - from Oedipus and Faust to Frankenstein and The Matrix - he explains what the economy is and why it has the power to shape our lives.
Intimate yet universally accessible, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy introduces listeners to the most important drama of our times, helping to make sense of a troubling world while inspiring us to make it a better one.

Geschichte
Imagine it is now 2025 and that years earlier, in the wake of the world financial crisis of 2008, a new post-capitalist society had been born. In this ingenious book, world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis draws on the greatest thinkers in European culture from Plato to Marx to offer us a dramatic and tantalising glimpse of this brave new world, where the principles of democracy, equality and justice are truly served.

Geschichte
Any ambitious proposal - ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to Medicare for all or preventing the coming climate apocalypse - inevitably sparks questions: how can we afford it? How can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton points out how misguided those questions really are by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximise our potential as a society.

Geschichte
In January 2015, Yanis Varoufakis, an economics professor teaching in Austin, Texas, was elected to the Greek parliament with more votes than any other member of parliament. He was appointed finance minister, and, in the whirlwind five months that followed, everything he had warned about was confirmed as the "troika" (the European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and European Commission) stonewalled his efforts to resolve Greece's economic crisis.

Geschichte
An instant best seller, On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of “perpetual now,” to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of “climate barbarism,” this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.

Capturing
Eye-opening insights in the nebulous world of economics. Language used is easy enough for non-experts like me to understand the topics covered. Anecdotes here and there further explain dry subjects.
Highly recommended to anyone

At last I understand
Economics make the world go around or not and now at least I can follow what they 'scientists' are talking about :-)
Really a must read book. I would even suggest that it should be used at highschool to explain the core of capitalism and its interrelationship with democracy!

This should be mandatory at schools...
If you have wandered some moment about why the unemployment uneven wealth distribution or why in spite of all alerts we are still not setting all our resources into stopping environmental contamination, we'll this is your book.
Short, plain, the point, enjoyable but incredibly educative...
This should definitely be included in high-school curriculums across the world...

Very enjoyable audio book for everyone
This is a very nicely written book by a quite misunderstood figure and former finance minister of Greece, J. Varoufakis. He described and elaborated on market societies, an appropriate alias for capitalism, with plain language and a series of allegory from mythology. This sometimes goes too far but it is generally enjoyable offering a smooth detour and achieving its explanatory goal. His main thesis that money cannot and should not be apolitical and the discussion on bitcoin were a good attempt to elaborate briefly on these concepts which aren't found commonly in popularized economics books. Finally the narration was flawless, and having watched Varoufakis speaking, I would say even assuming the author's very style.
