The problem with the economist is not lack of analysis. The problem a very skewed-Americanized world-view. Assuming you are able to reckon that part, the Econ has sections about EU, Asia and Africa and the special reports are awesome (most times). Definitely read the economist if you care about current affairs.
I would propose Varoufakis books, especially “talking to my daughter about the economy”, “the global Minotaur” and “adults in the room”. The latest “another now” is a bit more advanced and the next one that’s coming out about the new status quo is also interesting.
Another way to learn a lot is to read columns in major, mainstream, journals like NYC - Krugman’s column is really good - the FT, etc.
Keep in mind that you will have many “???” Moments when authors will be alluding or assuming the high inflation and low unemployment rate lead to recession, etc. jump to investopedia an try to connect the dots… this process will make you an expert eventually.
