Yanis Varoufakis, a renowned economist, pens a heartfelt letter to his daughter, Xenia, in an effort to impart valuable lessons about the perils of capitalism. Inquiring about the root causes of inequality, Xenia turns to her father for answers. Responding through a series of accessible and tender letters, Varoufakis educates his daughter about economics, capitalism, and their inherent dangers. Drawing from his own childhood memories and incorporating a range of well-known tales, including Oedipus, Faust, Frankenstein, and The Matrix, Varoufakis weaves a captivating narrative that makes the book an enjoyable and engaging read. However, he never shies away from addressing the more challenging truths. Greece's former finance minister employs his remarkable clarity and child-like honesty to unravel the complexities of our troubled world, offering insights into why economics holds such a pivotal role in our times. Through his responses to Xenia's deceptively simple questions, Varoufakis skillfully disentangles our world, inspiring us to strive for a better future. This book is characterized by its accessibility, deep humanity, and startling originality, making it a powerful democratic tool at a time when it is sorely needed.
Naomi Klein, the author of "The Shock Doctrine," praises Varoufakis' work, stating that it is "utterly accessible, deeply humane, and startlingly original." Klein highlights the book's potential as a powerful tool for democratic engagement, particularly in the current political climate.
