James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at some of the more intriguing topics in Yanis Varoufakis’ book “Talking to My Daughter About the Economy – A Brief History of Capitalism,” which is alternatively titled “How Capitalism Works and How it Fails.” This book, which was first published in 2013, details the rise of market societies and how things like money and the profit motive came to be, and also discusses the mechanics behind the rise of capitalism and how those mechanics have supercharged societies in some good ways and also some risky or unsustainable ways.
