Finished reading this in one sitting! A great introduction to the economy, not least because it references Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ;)

Actually, it references a lot of other well-known texts as well, such as the Iliad, the legend of icarus, and the story of Faust and the Devil. And then explains how the economy works through the lens of those stories! I was hooked in the beginning when Varoufakis tries to answer his daughter's question of "Why do we have inequality?" and realises a better way to answer that may be with another question: Why didn't the Aborigines in Australia invade England?
