If you are trying to learn about a subject, then I fully recommend you disregard current popular subject matter experts and focus on learning the basics as that is where you will learn the most especially considering the subject matter experts probably won't make sense if you do not understand the basics. How each person learns is subjective but I find textbooks are by far the best learning materials so if you are like me, then I would recommend you buy some introductory economic textbooks and read them. I know a lot about economics because I read a few intro economics textbooks and I kept reading new textbooks based on what interested me from previous ones and now I have read over 20.
