OP do you try to learn economics or just want to read about it? i guess there's no point reading about stuff that you dont understand, so i'm gonna presume that you have no clue about economics and suggest you few good intro, downloadable textbooks

Mankiw, principles of economics

Krugman, international economics

Mishkin, The Economics of Money Banking and Financial Markets

Phillip Kotler, (anything about marketing)
