Reviews

It's great fun to read ... Varoufakis has started a debate here, and he's done it brilliantly
*Evening Standard*

Utterly accessible, deeply humane and startlingly original – a potent democratic tool at the perfect time
*Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough*

A provocative, challenging, yet non-patronising analysis of the global economy. By using ancient myths, contemporary culture and family stories, Varoufakis makes the text intimate and accessible
*Observer*

Experts have often found it easier to hide behind opaque language than to explain complex concepts in simple terms … Varoufakis wants to smash this barrier. . . He equips his readers with the beginnings of a new language, and punctures myth after myth – anna minton, guardian
*Guardian*

Varoufakis's brief history of capitalism unspools with characteristic fluency and verve ... those seeking to better understand the 'black magic' of bankers should look no further
*Financial Times*
