À propos de l'Ă©vĂ©nement

In our next book club, we ‘re discussing “Talking to My Daughter About the Economy” by Yanis Varoufakis.

A clear and accessible book that explains how the economy works, why inequality exists, and how power and money shape our lives—using stories rather than technical theory.

POTENTIAL DISCUSSION POINTS:

  • Varoufakis describes early economies where money and debt served stability and obligation, and profit was a by-product rather than a goal. Do you agree with his account, and do you think modern capitalism has turned profit into an end in itself?

  • Varoufakis argues that inequality stems from power and control over money and resources, not merely from hard work or talent—but can any economic system truly overcome it?

  • Varoufakis suggests AI could make the economy vastly more productive—but in a system built around profit and power, these gains often go to a few while many lose security. Would the benefits generated by AI will ultimately outweigh its social and economic drawbacks?


PLEASE READ OR ENGAGE IN THE SUMMARIES OF THE BOOK TO ENSURE A FRUITFUL DISCUSSION:


**GROUND RULES:**This is a gentle, but thought-provoking, discussion.
It's a judgement-free zone where people can air their thoughts on particular issues, and discover other people's similar and different perspectives.
So bring your best opinions and ideas. Everyone is welcome.**LOCAT
