A clear, honest, and insightful analysis and critique of how capitalism works (and how it fails), and what we've allowed it to do to the rest of culture, and to the world in general.

Varoufakis was Minister of Finance for Greece during part of the fleecing and gutting of that country by the global banks; but he doesn't fulminate, he doesn't go into jargony financial detail or any specific condemnation of who did what to the country. Instead he talks in clear general terms, with specific but not gossipy examples, of the general facts about capitalism and how it functions now in the world. His tone is simple without being at all condescending, and clear without oversimplifying.

Highly recommended.
