I'm afraid your out of luck Anon.
here's something grounded on good hard data.

I know the word autistic gets thrown a lot around 4chan but i genuinely think that you may have autism and you should get checked out. Im not trying to insult you either, you just seem to not be able to understand social conventions and that the book is a general guide on what people like.

Also, pic rel is an ultra useful book for young adults and for people who dont know how economics (in the broader sense) work

My grasp on even basic economics is tentative at best and I'd really like to correct this. I've had this book recommended to me but I'm afraid it'll be too blatantly biased towards a specific kind of economic approach. Do any of you have any recommendations?

OP, not a ton of book recommendations here. Econ is a great major. I do agree with other posters that your intro level classes will provide an excellent base. Otherwise, try Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. It might even be too basic for you, but it's a good place to start. Once you enroll at university you should check pricing on a student subscription to The Economist and The Wall Street Journal. Your university library should have a subscription as well. Your library should also give access to JSTOR. Look for publications and books by Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek. Marx and Adam Smith will have their place as you develop expertise, but start with the basics and it will carry you well.
