It's basically equivalent to a first year uni economics course but his explanations are crystal clear and easy to grasp.
Good for someone who wants a taste of economics but doesn't delve too deep into the technicalities of this memescience

This one is less biased if you care about that. Of course it austrian economics so you probably will start vomiting everytime you hear the words government, state, intervention. But overall you will learn enough to understant economic policy and not to fall in bullshit from politicians.

its goodbut sowell is sort of biased. just be careful when he gives examples that are in favor of the market/against govt regulation, as sowell is more laissez faire than your standard mainstream academic economist. he will skimp on examples when the market fails and stack on examples where the govt fails, so it gives you an incomplete view of the role of economics in policy.

hope this helps

These are ideological nonsense trying to look as neutral and objective as possible. Avoid unless you're interested in studying libertarian delusions.
