'Inside out' of Economics
If you have loved Pixar movie 'Inside out' then you will love this book. Just like in the movie our emotions are shown to have their distinct character, Varoufakis tells the progression of Economics with the help of famous mythological or literary stories, giving each concept of Economics a distinct character, easy to understand and relate to it.
Despite being an economist and a famous one, he is candid enough to accept that the business of economics can not left to the experts.
One more point of beauty of the book is that despite not giving false hope for better future, the writer manages to keep the readers optimistic and feel responsible for future.
Lastly, this book was written as a dialogue with a teenage daughter. The reader of the book has maintained a perfect voice tone of a loving father in tune with the soul of the book.

A Lucid account of how economy works
A perfect book for someone with absolutely no idea of what and how of "economics" even if they believe they do.

Economy demystified
A very good introduction to economics, talks about the limitations of economics also.
What I found refreshing was that it also speaks to the limitations of current economic theories.
