Let’s Talk About Hard Things
£14.99Death. Sex. Money. Tricky subjects we’re taught to avoid in polite conversation. But if they’re so unpleasant, why do so many people tune in regularly to hear Anna Sale asking perfect strangers about them? What if, rather than declaring them off-limits, we could all benefit from discussing them more? In this book, Sale – the host of cult podcast Death, Sex & Money, which tackles life’s hard questions – takes her quest for more honest communication into her own life. She considers her history of facing (and sometimes avoiding) difficult subjects, both personal and cultural; she reflects on race, wealth, inequality, love, grief, death, power – all the things that shape our daily lives, the things we should be talking about, but often struggle to.

Talking To My Daughter About The Economy
£9.99In this letter to his teenage daughter, the world-famous economist and number one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis uses vivid stories to explain what economics is and why it is so dangerous. What is money and why does debt exist? Where do wealth and inequality come from? How come economics has the power to shape and destroy our lives? Economics is not a science, it is an epic drama: a battleground of ideas, a war between the powerful for our allegiance. In this universally accessible book, Yanis Varoufakis describes how this drama first emerged and has since come to dominate the fate of human societies worldwide. In answering all of the big questions about money and debt, power and inequality, he shows how economics is actually ‘religion with equations’, and in seeking to solve the problems of our world it has turned out to be a major cause of many of them.
