alright OP, those are the quintets that you can choose from to learn about the economy!
Have fun!

Don’t read trash. Mercantilist writings are of no relevance in the modern world. Much expository vomit has been poured over those volumes to explain why they are still relevant (they aren’t).

I’d read these in the following order so as to not go insane

Political Economy for Beginners by Millicent Fawcett
The Black Swan by Nicholas Taleb
The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek
The Socialist System by Janos Kornai
The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham

Thanks!

Not sure what to tell you, Anon. I went through a lot of textbooks and I already knew or was aware of 85% of all things I read about. Economics always were common sense, really.

read keynes

- Religion and Art
- "What Boots This Knowledge?"
- Know Thyself
- Hero-dom and Christendom
- Das Rheingold libretto

Take Calc 1 + learn about indifference curves from calc 3 and stats up to regression analysis
Read an introductory micro economics textbook
Read an intermediate microeconomics textbook
Read an intro macroeconomics textbook and intermediate level
Learns some basic game theory and read a textbook on industrial organization

If you really want to learn economics you will be doing a lot of math. Microeconomics is the foundation of everything so don't even try to learn about things like inflation and public debt if you don't know about utility functions, budget constraints, supply and demand. Everyone thinks they get supply and demand but they don't so really hammer it down and learn the graphs.

All the books these fools are recommending and that you have read basically give you no understanding of economics. Don't take Austrians seriously. They don't use math. I will emphasize again, Economics is a VERY math heavy field.

If you're unwilling to learn calculus then you'll never learn economics. Don't even try.

why has every econ guy I've ever spoken to thought they were good at math? they're all retards

>>17431909
Where did I say I was good at math? You seem like the retard

>>17431114
>not sermones, aeneis or catilina but christcuckery

i'm not an econ guy, but I think it would be fun for you to read Piero Sraffas 'production of commodities by the means of commodities'

How about speaking to store owners, trying your hand in stocks, trying your hand in small businesses, getting in touch with big players who live nearby? Books will help you fill your time. That's it.

>economics is common sense
>economics majors are bad at math
These are both so true. I am doing an econ-stats double major and this semester I'm taking econometrics which is like the most dreaded class in the economics sequence and all the regular econ majors are sucking, even though we have literal computer programs like excel and Stata to help us do most of the math. Also every economics professor I've had has illustrated why Taleb is right about economists, I'm so glad I'm not pursuing this field further.

>>17431903
>if it uses maths it must be true!

Growth of you being a retard is a function of you posting and the number of characters you type, R = (P,C). Therefore I have mathematically proved through calculus you suck donkey penis

Bro is this

you? You are a massive faggot dude, economics is not STEM, I'm sorry you had to suffer through introductory calculus courses but damn man have a little self restraint LMAO

Reflections on the Formation and Distribution of Wealth, by Turgot
Treatise of Political Economy, by Say
Capital (2 volumes, Capital and Interest, Pure Theory of Capital), by Bohm-Bawerk
The Collected Works of Armen A. Alchian, by Alchian (seems like cheating to put complete works but he wrote very little volume of the highest quality content)
The Calculus of Consent, by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock

Holy pseud. It's always funny seeing some economists try to pass their second rate topology as something incredible.
>They don't use math.
To criticize Austrians out of all people on this ground (but others schools too, before making it about them only). If anything they are those that insist the most on making economics an eidetic science first, whatever you thin of their results. That makes them much closer to mathematicians than lining up integral signs. You clearly have no idea what mathematics are. You imagine it as a theory of computation.

>>17431903
Economics is a math heavy field because it attempts to explain human interactions without actually paying attention to humans. This makes sense when you consider that it’s main audience is managers who need to communicate information to other managers. Economics is a dismal science because managers are dismal people.

>>17432539
sometimes I wonder if most economists are really as simple as they seem

>>17431063

>>17432715
I wonder if economists ever consider how many people will use the information they have gathered and what the effects of that information is.

>>17431063
If you are looking to continue a ‘Great Books’ approach to the history of economics I’d recommend:

George - Poverty and Progress

Veblen - Theory of the Leisure Class

Keynes - The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money

Schumpeter - Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy

Galbraith - The New Industrial State
