A very simple look at how traditional economics has fucked almost everybody. Also gives suggestions about how to change things for the better. While I agree with most of what it has to say, the book comes off as a bit naive or optimistic. I would recommend this to people just starting to think about why the world is as fucked as it is.

While retelling the history of economics Raworth unravels the foundational ideas of the field and how it affects society today. Highlighting the issues that should be true priorities which are often left out in the pursuit of growth and GDP.
The importance of terms, phrases and words in shaping how people understand economic systems. How they work and their value. For example relationships not resources.
Importance of understanding of human behaviour to economics and how previously reductive ideas of human behaviour have been used within economic theories the study of which contributes to the values of societies and individuals.
