The book is clearly not a light reading, the text is dense with notes, quotes and references. I liked the way it is organised and the clear prose of Graeber.
I think this is probably one book that should be read by anybody who is interested in politics and economics, because it helps grounding modern concepts into the roots those concepts have: money, debt but also community, sharing, slavery and so on.

Review of 'Talking to My Daughter about the Economy' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Simple prose, short and full of methaphores/analogies. The book aims to cover the most basic but also fundamental aspects of economy with in a very accessible way.
In my mind, it makes the perfect gift for a young person who is interested in politics.
