Hi /lit/

What books would you recommend? Preferably both textbooks and pop econ stuff

So I was on walkabout to Penrith Cennos as I often do from time to time - mostly to hit on the sheilas - then all of a sudden Eddie Mabo jumps out of the bush to roll me for my Gucci watch and shards right in front of the door. As he ran off and stuffed it in his swag, I chanced upon a pamphlet he dropped: “Abowaffen meeting behind Penrith Cennos, 4:20 PM”. Just my luck; I was right on time.
Hiding behind a domestic violence awareness poster on a fence, I observe them, watching. The sound of bagpipes appeared to initiate a ceremony, but they turned out to be goon bags. Eddie Mabo began to speak:
“TONIGHT, WE’RE GOIN’ TO MAKE THE WHITE DOGS PAY! THE CUNTS POISONED OUR PETTY! IT’S TIME TO SHOW THESE WHITE DOGS THE TRUE MEANIN’ OF SUFFERIN’! WE’RE GOIN’ MOTHERFUCKIN’ PUT ADBLUE IN THEIR DRINKIN’ WATER! THEN, THE WHITE DOGS WILL KNOW HOW WE KOORI FOLK FEEL!”
I’ve got to put as stop to this; I hate AdBlue. I followed them as they stumbled to the bus stop begging for change and I quietly snuck in; didn’t know the bus number nor the destination. Eddie Mabo started to whisper to his Coon Goons:
“ALRIGHT CUNTS, LISTEN HERE AND LISTEN CLOSE! TODAY’S DRY JULY, AND WE ALL KNOW THESE WHITE DOGS ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO BE SOBER! THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOIN’ PISS ADBLUE IN THEIR DRINKIN’ WATER AT 6 O’CLOCK DINNER TIME!”
After a long trip, we arrived at a treatment plant. I laid low a bit until the coast was clear. They took out all the staff and put a 7 foot-tall guard at the door. There was no other option so I warily approached the strongman:
“I’m one of the brothers.”
“You’re in, unna”
Easy enough. I made my way to through a labyrinth of pipe work to a central processing room filled with black fellas and an office; the latter first. There’s a limp-wristed, scrawny Jew on the floor whimpering with a Rick and Morty Pop Vinyl in his arms. I asked him what’s going on:
“I don’t know! There are a group of poor Original Australians drinking petrol from Jerry cans preparing to piss in our tanks! Why don’t they just pour it in? The access valves only open at 6:00 PM; it’s 5:00! This is a big misunderstanding. Aboriginal communities are disadvantaged and we colonisers are clearly to blame! I won’t call the police and put innocent People of Colour at risk!”
“Fuck the police (coming straight from the underground). I know exactly who to call.”
I knocked the oestrogen depot out cold and took the phone from his desk:
“G’day mate. Is this the Bandidos? I’ve got some roos that need wrangling.”
“We’ll be there in 5.”
That same sturdy guard barges in enraged and yelled out at the top of his lungs:
“WHY ARE YOU MUMBLING? YOU REALLY ONE OF THE BROTHERS?”
“YEAH! ME MUM’S DAD’S DOG WAS A DINGO FROM THE NOONGAR TRIBE!”
“Deadly. May the Rainbow Serpent smile upon you.”

If you can’t use Wiktionary, I’ll post a glossary after 50 (You)s.

As a I finally made my way to to central area, a protracted fight broke out; the Bandidos were here. They had DIY Owen Guns, but the gronks had the piss. Then I met Mabo again, this time wearing my watch:
“FUCK ME MUM! YOU FUCKIN’ FAKE ABO CUNT! YOU RUINED EVERYTHIN’! I’LL KILL YOU, CUNTFUCK!”
I went in with a running kick. To the left, to the right, HE SCORES! All Aboriginals have toothpick legs. I made my getaway before the Goat Riders (police) try to take credit.
Unbestknown to me a young woman had followed me, and an independent reporter no less. She had one question:
“How’d you do it, Bruce?”
“Simple really. I don’t believe in Daylight Saving.”

If you want to start from absolute basics of micro and macro economics then "Economics" by D.Begg , it is pretty good but rather simplified, just download it from libgen. Also start learning statistics and basics of accounting.

>> No.19607732

>>19607156
Something I would seriously recommend is to read more financial publications and news in general. A lot of economics is like

|J(k*, c*)|= (1/sigma)*fkk(k)*(c*)<0

If you understand what I am referring to there then well done you are an economist. But if you want a job nobody cares. You need to speak the language of finance and commerce and you will not find that in a textbook.

Please don't listen to him anon. Basic Economics is a perfect primer. It's been #1 best seller on economic theory on amazon for a reason. Smith is great but Sowell's work is more easy to consume for a 21st century normie. You can graduate to more refined economic books from there.

Both Friedman and Hayek are essential, but neither of those are economics texts.

For Friedman, you need:
>Essays in Positive Economics
>Theory of the Consumption Function
>Monetary Stability
Hayek:
>Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle
>Prices and Production
>Pure Theory of Capital
>The Denationalization of Money

For Adams I would also add "Theory of Moral Sentiment".

They are essential in economic thinking. If you just study numbers all the time you'll end up like kenysians and Marxists that constantly lose out to real economists that know the market is just as much peoples emotions as it is basic transactions. Materialists always lose when it comes to economics, they lack baseline to for deeper understanding.
