Just here to shill Philip Mirowski

More light than heat is about how orthodox Econ builds all its models around physics

Machine Dreams covers the computational influence that came in later and the creeping inhumanism of most standard Econ

Never let a serious crisis go to waste is a good history of neoliberalism (the actual intellectual history) and its role in the 2007-8 crisis - or more importantly, its role in the response

If you're looking for something left of field that digs into the grounding of economics he's your man imo

Why nations fail by acemoglu. Most other stuff is irrelevant

Also read Adam Smith, and realise that the modern economic status quo isn't what the forefathers of economic liberalism argued for

If you by basic economics mean the discussion between keynesian/classical economics and it's evolution into nns/mainstream "neoclassical" models, try reading up on post-keynesianism or austrian economics. Both are considered somewhat obscure in the sense that they have some "crazy" arguments (according to the mainstream). Post-keynesianism primarily spins the same story as most keynesianism you would find in textbooks but differentiate the actors in the economy. This gives them some interesting points when rejecting sections of the established understanding of economics. The austrian school goes even further in rejecting the foundation of mainstream economic understanding but can at some points get a little autistic with their circular arguments and ">muh praxeology". Austrian is a lot more philosophical and primarily discusses human behaviour in general, and not really actual economics.Their economic arguments are weak, but they have some interesting points also.

On the Marxist side I'd suggest Stalin's "Economic problems of socialism" which gives s very practical Outlook of the most ambitious project of economic transformation in history.
On a similar note Paul Cockshott (Real name) "Towards a new socialism" that explores what modern computing can do for economic planning as well as offering potential models of interaction between socialist and capitalist economies. His theoretical work "classical econophysics" is also very interesting.
Anwar Shaik's "Capitalism: Competition, conflicts, crisis" is a very modern re-elaboration of many of Marx's main points. Highly reccomend it.

The Raven of Zurich: The Memoirs of Felix Somary

If you want to understand the Shadow Derivatives should start with the Case for Gold or The Death of Money.

Against the God's: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter L. Bernstein

Intriguing topic about the evolution of risk/interest theory and the development of the modern banking system. Only halfway through but I recommend.

If you want real economics and not just meme shit:
>Elements of Pure Economics
>Elements of Theoretical Economics
>Mathematical Psychics
>A Theory of Wages
>The Theory of the Leisure Class
>Theory of Value (debreu)
>Money and General Equilibrium theory
>Marx's essays on the tendency of the rate of profit to fall
>The General theory of Employment, Interest, and Money
>Principles of Political Economy and Taxation
>The Economics of Industry
>Growth Theory - An Exposition
Have an open mind and don't just believe things because they stand contrary to popular opinion. Good luck. If you could read Das Kapital in its entirety and understand it and have taken some econ courses, you will probably be able to understand most, if not all the books on this list

Don't waste too much time on austrian shit, just read Mises' "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth." Anyone other than Mises is to be disregarded.

is also a solid step in the mathematical journey
