If you want a very introductory book on economics, I'd recommend Naked Economics and Naked Money. We used Naked Economics in my high school economics class and it really helped me fall in love with economics.
Hey there, im an accounting student. By reading naked economics, do you think i can understand the content of the book without having any basic in economics ??but i did learned economics as my extra subject in high school. Or should i learn micro/macro first before reading any economics book?

Saying Heterodox Economics is merely inspired by Marxist is kind of reductionist. What about the Austrian, Post-Keynesian, Institutional, Anarcho, etc. schools of economics? Mainstream economics isn't just economics "that is not Marxist". Additionally, I don't feel you can accurately claim that Piketty is a Marxist economist.
i fully agree, i feel like he kind of nullifies Marxism because his parents told him it was a bad this so he shits on it a lot along with disingenuously representing Marxism.
I think a great future video topic would be looking at sources for keeping up on what's going on in the world of Economics. Both unreviewed/less technical stuff (like blogs, reddit, forums, podcasts, etc) and for peer-reviewed research. I'd also be interested in any tips you might have for accessing peer-reviewed papers for those of us who have graduated and don't have a library that provides access to various journals.

Yes. Please make the Freakonomics 16 years later video. It would be awesome to hear about strong claims in research and how they can go wrong over time. Thank you for your videos!
The Origin of Wealth by Eric D. Beinhocker A nice way to expose someone to economic history/wealth creation, complexity economics/evolutionary economics, networks, and game theory computer models. Quite a wide-ranging read in economics.
I'd love for you to review changes in pop-economics in general. Please make a video on what doesn't hold up well for Freakonomics, WNF, Thinking Fast and Slow!
I did my undergrad at a behavioral econ school and am currently doing my thesis in behavioral econ. Kahneman is definitely one of my favs. Id also suggest anything by Gary Becker to anyone interested in the subject. In terms of other books, id put Economical Writing by Deirdre McCloskey and Mastering Metrics by Angrist and Pischke high up there as must reads.
Do you by any chance take experiment economics classes along with your behavioural economics classes, nowadays, it seems to be a trend, ‘behavioural and experimental economics’, maybe you could pitch in your thoughts about that I'll find it really helpful.
In regards to Heterodox Economics, I have seen you mention Marxism in this video and priors. Would it be possible to hear your take on the Austrian School overall? Menger, Mises, Hayek, Etc..
"Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell was my first Economics book. It taught me SO much! Recently, I enjoyed by "Good Economics for Hard Times" Abhijit Banerjee and Ester Duflo.
Same here. I read the book twice. Sadly, my opinion on the man had changed over the years, given how hard he’d leaned on the message that black people really need to stop complaining and have no one but themselves to blame. This message really resonates with white conservatives and encourages apathy on their part
@@user-mi5xq8zj7uI read all of Sowells books. He's telling black people to stop blaming white people and get their act together. He thinks people who say otherwise are enabling their behavior and will never get better. I'm not a white conservative. I'm a Libertarian. But he's factually correct
@@bane3991 yeah but I think he went too far. There’s a difference between recognizing and fighting against learned helplessness and denying that there’s a problem at all. As an economists, it’s disingenuous to omit information that clearly goes against your core argument and pretend the situation is easy and simple
Piketty and Kelton are Marxists?! They are left of center but not Marxists. Respectfully, you don’t know much about Marxian economics and aren’t qualified to judge this school of thought if you consider these books Marxist. I’m not a Marxist, but I have studied it as I have recently become interested in heterodox economics, such as Austrian and Post-Keynesian. I recommend Marxian economics: An Introduction, by economist David Ruccio, professor emeritus at Notre Dame, to genuinely try to understand this economic school of thought.
Shouldn't Milton Freidman's free to choose be a book on the Chicago school of economics - laissez faire policies and all ? It was an absolute eye opener to me on why tweaking things in the economy is a very bad idea. Also, if someone wanted to upgrade their skills to say a phD level (without getting into a program) in Economics - what are the primer, intermediate and advanced books you would recommend ?
What about "32 things they don't tell you about capitalism"? I mean, some points there...they are extremely radical but also...some of the ideas are great I just do not know how to feel about this book
I’ve only taken high school economics so far but after one year of Macro and Micro I decided to pursue it in college. Someone recommended Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell and I’ve enjoyed it so far. Where would you rank that book?
Hey gibson, im an accounting student.. do you think i should read/learn micro or macro before i can read all these economics books? Or i could just straight away read any economic book? Btw i did take economics during high school tho
Added a couple of these to my to read list thanks. Freakonomics would be better on a fiction list. Would you do a video on what finance/economies have become? We still don't have a name for printing money and total faith in numbers on screens, inflating currencies but also inflating the amount of products to spend on to match each other etc.
Many thanks for this video! Also, Nudge is going to receive a Final Edition in ~August. Could you make a review of that book when it comes out and compare it with the now "older" version?
Have you done the Mystery of Capital? I enjoyed that one and finally figured out who this de Soto guy was (I kept thinking people were referencing the explorer).
If I may recommend a book, and author, that most people have never heard of who very muched challenged me: Ethics and the National Economy, Heinrich Pesch Additionally, the translator for this novel (and most of Pesch's work) Rupert Ederer has an amazing book on monetary theory: The Evolution of Money I'd also like to see your take on books by economist foundational to current Western thought such as Schumpeter, Hayek, Becker.
Speaking of comic books for your son, I think either the Treasury or the Fed used to make comic books on economics. My dad got them for me when I was in 3rd grade and they were great. Dont know if they still make em.
Two books you should consider adding to you list: 1) "Macroeconomics" (2019) by Mitchell, Wray and Watts and 2) "The 7 Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy" by Warren Mosler which is also available for free as a pdf. The first one is a comprehensive macroeconomics textbook (hence the title ^^) covering everything from history of monetary systems to the inner workings of modern fiat money systems, different competing models in mainstream and heterodox economics and recent crisis analysis. The second one is a pretty small book that debunks some major myths about economic policy. Both are a must-read.
I was so excited to read it but then I did and I didn’t like it at all. It was very basic and doesn’t include many economic concepts who would expect. I recommend you just look up a summary of it to be honest.
Can you review or comment on “The Economist’s View of the World”. I’ve heard people call it outdated but a professor that I’m interested doing research with gave it to me to read.
The Piketty and Deficit myth rankings are super biased with no justification. There are many heterodox critiques of piketty as well (see Jamie Galbraith, Yanis Varoufakis, Fred Moseley, Bob Murphy, etc.), so I’ll let that one slide. But Kelton has made a very accessible introduction to government finance under a sovereign currency system. Yes MMTers can get rowdy and overexcited but the approach is rooted in looking at the institutions (fed, treasury, private banking system, shadow banking system, firms and households) that drive the whole system. Unless you’re ready to debunk any assertions and do your diligence, I don’t think you should do these lists.
Even though I disagree with most of what Kelton claimed in the book it was still well written and an essential read to understanding MMT which is undeniably becoming more popular and mainstream. So the F rating felt a bit weird.
@@bobmarleyno.1467 It's an essential for understanding our current political economy but a poor place to look for good economic reasoning and methodology (which I believe is what was being ranked here). I'd recommend it for the same reason I recommend people read Marx.
@@yanntanguay8498 Even if you and I don't accept that MMT accurately describes the economy, there were some really good points for normal Keynesians relating to the deficit. As Paul Krugman said most of MMT's main points are essentially normal Keynesianism rebranded. Mostly the points relating to the deficit under a fiat system. Now while I disagree that we could keep stacking debt up even in a boom I nevertheless believe that the book gives some pretty good mainstream points as to why running large deficits doesn't destroy the economy. Those good points and the fact that the book was just well written, essential for the political climate, and easy to understand the F just seems unjustified.
