What economics books should I read if I just want to understand how the world works now and in history, but I'm not interested in retarded navel-gazing ideologues pontificating about which autistic utopia fanfiction is better, unless their faggotry has had a tangible impact on reality?
>>23818721Economics in One Lesson by HazlittThe Law by Frédéric Bastiat
>>23818721joan robinson's An Introduction to Modern Economicsignore libtards >>23818729remember: perfect competition is a useless theory for mental masturbation, reality is oligopolistic
>>23818721Economics splits into schools.Keynesian, fisherite, chicago, misesian for capitalism. Then you have marx for the communists (I ain't citing em all).George Batailles for "general economy"For collapsology aka steady state I only know of Greer but I am sure he's taking his arguments from an older source.Then you have Friedrich List for mercantilism. I am sure there are more so please correct/add stuff if I am wrong.
>>23818776Joan Robinson isn't even an economist.He's a Marxist, and Marxists aren't economists.They're retards who can't do basic or statistics.
>>23818790SHE, and she was never really a Marxist she just thought Kim-Il Sung had some good ideas and the cultural revolution was good for Chinamen
>>23818819Yikes
>>23818778Most of your list is straight up outdated tho
>>23818721no one else here is going to give you the boring normal person answer so i'll just say it: mankiw's principles of economics is actually fine as an introductory textbook and you don't even have to be a keynesian to think this.it's not going to give you the history of ideas component but it'll help you build a basic toy model in your head to fuck around with, which will get you closer to understanding economic thinking than reading a bunch of famous economists will. economics is usually classified as a social science but it's also sort of a branch of math, and like any other mathematical discipline you need to actually do it, not just read it.
>>23819556Kim Il Sung was actually a decent leader until the 70s especially when contrasted to the gangster state RoK. It was under the famine of Kim Jong Il that the DPRK became really kooky.
>>23818721>now and in history
>>23818721Just go get a job and buy shit. That's how you learn economics. Then see if a tax hurts or helps you buy more shit. Holy fuck economics isnt hard.
>>23819566Ik. So add to it. I wrote this on a whim.
>>23819757>ThisPsueds love to gatekeep economics and speak as if it were some sort of esoteric science with a single unified discipline.You could learn the basic principles in an afternoon without delving too much into trig.
Recently i followed the work of Michael Hudson his theories and research around the origins of debt and morality are illuminating.but he's a hard marxist which has to be tempered out of his message, still has some interesting things to say about balance of payments and trade
>>23819933He's also inspired some ideas I've had that better explain the motivations behind historical anachronisms and falsifications.I don't know why he's so silent on the jews however.
Bump
>>23818721What is a good book to learn microeconomics for someone who is mathematically literate? The denser the better.
>>23821637go to a respected university's webpage and look at the course material for their micro courses. it's literally that simple
