>>23619046Idk if this is still the most common textbook but this was the most common textbook in undergraduate economics programs in the United States for a long time. As far as the basics and teaching what passes for basics within Mankiw’s paradigm, it’s not bad. Eventually OP will have to appreciate that in truth economics is more art than science and downstream of particular philosophical worldviews. Marxism makes sense…if you accept dialectical materialism. Keynesian economics makes sense…if you’re a progressive Western liberal. So on and so forth. At the end of the day, economics is nothing more than the art of resource allocation.

>>23619039Piketty is good in history of economics (poverty & development). Capital and ideology is long, but there are many chapter that worth it.
Thorstein Veblen - The Theory of the Leisure Class. I snagged an older Modern Library copy from the 40's, plenty out there on the web. Not a bad read, very verbose but amusing. I didn't agree with everything Veblen wrote, but most of it was sound conjecture and he did make some attempt at objectivity. He falls apart when talking about sports and fashion, but it isn't so bad that the other ideas present in the book were ruined.
