Yanis Varoufakis "And the Weak Suffer What They Must?: Europe's Crisis and America's Economic Future" Varoufakis fascinates and inspires me in that he studied math and mathematical statistics at a high level and moved into Economics at a high level (he's a professor and recently he was greek finance minister) yet resists the tendency to reduce everything down to a shity mathematical model. He does a better job than most at exploring the factors that contributed to our current political and economic situation (the book was published before trump's win but deals with analogs in greece and europe). And it opens with his childhood memories of hiding under a blanket to hide the sound of democratic radio from fascist ears.
