Random House presents the audiobook edition of Talking to My Daughter About the A Brief History of Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis. Why is there so much inequality?

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.
