Welcome to Litsy!

To be honest, I'm not sure if I like this book because it's good or just because I agree with the author about the limitations of profit-driven society and the ability of The Market to solve all the world's problems. I suppose it's possible I like it for both reasons. At the very least, it's engagingly written and is perhaps the most enjoyable book about economics that I have read.

Brilliant, easy to digest economics.

Audiobaking GF bread and learning about the origins of capitalism.

I found this one to be a mixed bag. Some of the essays were clear and clever, but others were a bit convoluted and the chosen metaphor or example was a bit complicated and/or didn‘t quite match back up to the concept it was illustrating quite seamlessly. But, on the whole, his examples and explanations were accessible and memorable. #netgalley

I loved this book. I could feel the love and desire for a parent to shape a kind moral compass in every page. I think I irritated my 9 year old by talking to her about It, because she was a little young. A good read for anyone who wants to understand why society is arranged in the way it is. A particularly good narrative to explain how inequality and debt began, in a historical context.

This is one of the best books I‘ve ever read and I cannot recommend it more!

SO easily accessible with engaging anecdotes and allegories. Yanis starts right at the beginning of society and answers questions I didn‘t even know I needed answers to, like: why didn‘t the Australian aborigines invade England?

This book makes understanding and talking about the economy so much easier! It even explains bitcoin! And it is a pleasure to read?! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
