I need books I can read and actually learn something from. It’s hard to know what is legitimately good when you have all these rich and famous fucks pushing books they allegedly recommend, when they are either the author of it or probably are friends with the author. Using AI isn’t of any help either since it pulls results from the web, which also recommends these slop books. I don’t know where to turn to for real knowledge. People say go on YouTube, but once again slop is being churned out everywhere. Alex Hormozi for example. It seems everyone is trying to sell you a course or book on how to make money, when that is the mechanism they are using to make money.

Why Stocks Go Up and Down by William H. PikeThis isn't financial advice by the way.
in addition to whatever else, skim an accounting textbook.

>>25380848Before you start with anything I would highly recommend that you have at least a basic grasp of macroeconomics 101. Microecon is not as necessary although it might be useful. For learning about this I’d unironically use normal learning tools like watching Khan Academy videos on YouTube. On the stock market general (/smg/) on /biz/ there is a link that also contains useful learning tools for this. You could delve into the literature instead by reading Adam Smith, then Ricardo, Marx, Marshall, Keynes etc. to learn it directly from the primary sources but this is really not worth it unless you are extremely serious about studying this stuff.If you seriously want to study finance without interacting with the financebro stuff (which is understandable, and even wise if I may say so), Marcia Stigum’s The Money Market is highly essential. Most subjects regarding financial markets are covered here despite its last edition coming out in 2007. It remains a highly regarded work for all things finance by lawyers, academics etc. This is a quintessential work.After that you can do what you want, although it might be useful to read something a bit more recent, so here are some recommendations. - Why Stock Markets Crash by Didier Sornette is an academically written study on, well, why stock markets crash. Very dry and academic at times but very useful.- After the Music Stopped by Alan Blinder. Written by former Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is a book about the 2008 financial crisis and it is the book that got me interested in this stuff in the first place. I’d recommend his book A Monetary and Fiscal History of The United States, 1961-2021 to be read alongside it. Very informative reads that explain certain concepts in macroeconomics and finance really well. These are good starting points if you don’t know much about finance/econ. Do be aware that Blinder is very much a keynesian which makes him biased. Aside from that, he’s quite good.- I would also recommend having some general knowledge about the history of financial/economic institutions in general. For this, I recommend The House of Morgan by Ron Chernow, A History of The Federal Reserve by Allan Meltzer, Monetary Policy in The United States by Richard Timberlake and A Financial History of Western Europe by Kindleberger. These books should adequately catch you up to speed on financial history up until at least recent times. Blinder’s history mentioned earlier should help as well. The work of Sebastian Mallaby is also great, More Money Than God is a good history of hedge funds.- if you made it this far you might as well read the political economists that I mentioned earlier like Adam Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Keynes etc. These guys are more readable than you might think and greatly affected the way finance is looked at today (even Marx, Volume 3 of Capital is fascinating). Again, not recommended as a starting point, but I do recommend checking them out at some point.

>>25380848I've read Ricardo, Henry Hazlitt and some Rothbard. Menger filtered me somewhat but it doesn't mean it would filter you.Of those mentioned, Rothbard (can be) the most accessible.Yes, he's the most jewy jew that's ever kike'd about on earth, but he's genuinely very helpful in understanding a lot about monetary policy, the credit system/repos and banking in general.

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell was the algorithmic recommendation made to me that I now pass forward to you. I didn't agree with his standpoint on everything and was often debating with the book, but it was an interesting introduction to the world of money from an outlook different from the typical financial funnel promotion book so it's probably the kind of thing you're looking for in your description
