Ask HN: Good Books as an Introduction to Economics?
For context, I’m someone who has very sparse knowledge regarding economics. I was hoping to find a good introduction to economics that I can read. Any thoughts?
- arioch316 7y agoI read Thinking Strategically – The Competetive Edge in Business Politics & Everyday Reissue many years back. I thought it was a good introduction as it focused on different fields like sports, business, etc, through the lens of economics
- esnowrackley 7y agoI found The Economics Anti-Textbook [1] to be a good primer that explains a lot of the foundations you might pick up in an introductory course, but also includes healthy perspective into the field beyond what you might get out of a 101.
