- no marxist/socialist/communist etc stuff
- no globohomo/ancap stuff

Can be about large-scale economics, like how governments/kingdoms are/were run financially, or small-scale, as in how smaller businesses are run.

I was gonna study economics in college but decided to pursue another career so I should know the basics

He said no ancap shit though Mises is interesting if not outdated and obtuse. My rec is maybe read his ABCT for the luls and skip. All of his good writing was adopted into Neo-keynesianism

Keep in mind /lit/ sucks at econ so most of their recs are gonna be trash. Start with something fun like ha joon chang (optional) then read mankiw's macroeconomics along with mankiws microeconomics while watching marginal university on youtube. at this point you know more about economics than 98 percent of people. then you can take off into more mathematical, international and financial economics by following /sci/ wiki's economics category. After this it gets fuzzy. You can study historical economics, MMT (probably the most enlightening), post Keynesian economics , neo marxian economics, marxian institutional economics, econophysics, as well as some older economists like pareto, early Austrian school schumpeter, neo ricardians, wicksell, Anwar Shaikh etc You'll figure it out.

Keep taking pride in not knowing things, not even the history of the models and ideas you yourself are studying, in your second rate business program which is apparently your sole source of validation and identity.

Gatekeeping and pride in being part of the "guild" as an anonymous second year with a B+ average are signs of great character.

Mankiw for intro to economics
Varian for intermediate economics
Sowell for pop economics

Also look up commonly used books for financial economics, make sure you know basic statistics as well. Stick to mainstream stuff.

Worldly Philosophers is good for history, but only goes up till 1950s.

Telling someone to read Mises is like telling someone to read Adam Smith. He might have been right in a lot of ways that matter but nobody needs to read pre keynesian jargon to get a good grip of economics. His good contributions you can get from an economics textbook while you can get his ABCT from de Soto (the one on Mises.org) plus ABCT hasn't been proven empirically demonstrable. But you wouldn't know that because ancaps never read (t. former ancap).
