> What's your purpose? This is the key question. If you want to understand the mechanics of the economic and financial world at a macro level then I would strongly recommend, as a primer, looking at the explainers on the Bank of England website. And for more in depth stuff, the Federal Reserve website has links to a number of academic papers that cover quite broad topics. I would expect that that, between them, there should be enough material so that you can start to more in depth studies using the appropriate terminology. I noticed elsewhere you discounted The Economist, FT and WSJ. You really shouldn't. They all have very good articles that cover topics you won't see or are glossed over in more generalist media. They definitely have biases but in my experience (and I know a fair bit about finance particularly) the factual side tends to be pretty solid ie their journalists are knowledgeable. I would also recommend Matt Levine's columns in Bloomberg.
