Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, Yanis Varoufakis

I loved this, I've folded over so many pages it would have been better if I'd folded over the ones which didn't have something to remember on them. It is straight forward, left leaning and written with a passion and lightness which makes it easy to absorb the ideas and understand the way the economy works in practical terms. It is also unusual in the Varoufakis points out the problems with the economy and then provides ideas for solutions, or multiple ideas for different ways of doing things. It should be required reading in high-school maths classes all over the world.
