Work

For me it was a nice overview about the very basic mechanisms of work and capitalism. Really liked the small stories inbetween and for the first time i've understood how the economic crisis in 2008 worked. I'd especially recommend the chapter on economic and banks, it gives a basic rundown on what certain mechanisms are and how they're called. What really bothers me though: the book is really white and has a very certain perspective on things. There's no bigger mention of race, slavery and colonialism and how it's linked to capitalism. And personally I think it's unhelpful not to mention the books and authors where the writers got their ideas from, a) because it makes fact checking and further reasearch more complicated and b) it can be disrespectful if those authors are already more marginalized.
