A Good Read: Yanis Varoufakis and Patrick McGrath

Series 507, episode 4

Greek politician Yanis Varoufakis chooses Margaret Atwood's treatise on debt - Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth as his go-to book for students of economics. Author Patrick McGrath's choice is Nigel Balchain's novel set during the London Blitz, Darkness Falls from the Air, which he loves for its humour and for its stoic main character. Presenter Harriet Gilbert's choice is by Kiley Reid - a smart look at race politics in the US through the story of a young black nanny and her white employer, white boyfriend and black friends
