I don't know any basics of economics. Can I read these books?

The Arthashastra, written by the ancient Indian philosopher and statesman Kautilya (also known as Chanakya), is considered one of the most important works in the field of economics and political science. Here are some reasons why it is often regarded as the best book for economic study: Comprehensive: The Arthashastra covers a wide range of topics, including economics, politics, warfare, diplomacy, and governance. As such, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between these different aspects of society and how they affect economic development. Historical Significance: The Arthashastra was written more than two thousand years ago, making it one of the oldest surviving works on economics. Its ideas and concepts have influenced economic thought not only in India but also in other parts of the world, making it a historically significant text. Practical Approach: The Arthashastra is a highly practical work that provides detailed instructions on various aspects of economic policy, such as taxation, trade, and regulation. It is not just a theoretical treatise, but a guidebook for how to govern and develop an economy. Emphasis on Ethics: The Arthashastra recognizes the importance of ethical considerations in economic policy-making. It stresses the need for rulers to act with integrity and fairness in their dealings with their subjects and to avoid exploiting them for personal gain. Relevance Today: Many of the ideas and concepts presented in the Arthashastra are still relevant today, especially in the context of developing economies. Its emphasis on the importance of infrastructure development, taxation policies, and trade regulations continue to influence economic policy-makers around the world. Overall, the Arthashastra provides a unique perspective on economics and governance that is both practical and ethical, making it an important work for anyone interested in studying economics.

when is the part two coming ?

How is capital “very emotionally charged”?

The road to serfdom ? no works by Hayek ?

Wait, nothing from the Austrian school!?

"The Worldly Philosophers" would be a good introduction for people that need a good overview over a lot of different important economists and their theories. Otherwise your recommendations are quite solid.

There is three volume in capital karl Max, which one do you recommend?

Is Capital divided into three parts? I can't find a version that just put everything in one book.

nothing mentioned about austrian economics ....so leftie

The books I find on youtube are Economics in one Lesson and Basic economics by Thomas Sowell. What do you think of those?

Any particular order?? Any suggestions?

hii i am from India i am new to economics please suggest me books that help me to understand clearly about economy

Can someone help me I want to start reading books about economics which should I buy ?

Good vid

Very good review... May Allah increase your Knowledge.. Love from Pakistan...

If you mention Keynes you have to mention Hayek (basically to complete the 4 schools of thoughts).

What do any of those books say about Planned Obsolescence and the depreciation of durable consumer goods? Economists do not mention NDP, Net Domestic Product very much. They subtract the depreciation of capital goods and ignore what consumers lose on cars, air conditioners and microwave ovens. Oh, What do you mean those did not exist when Smith and Marx were around? Did John Maynard Keynes ever see a television commercial for automobiles?

You cant read the Wealth of Nations without the theory of moral sentiments

Tried to read capital but it was hard because I learned that Marx wasn’t an actual economist, and I heard that Keynes’s theories lead to failure when it was tried?

Dont Forget Thomas Multhus And David Ricardo

where i obtain this books.

How do you balance between free market and socialism in your thinking?

You've read Capitalist Realism?

Smith and Marx never saw a Planned Obsolescence Economy. John Maynard Keynes never saw a television commercial for automobiles. Where is the data on the annual depreciation of automobiles purchased by consumers since Sputnik?

Just call the 3 volumes of kapital 3 books, then keep smith and Keynes, go heterodox

Thanks for your suggestions. It was much needed but Respect the books which give you so much knowledge and dont throw it like that. We Indians treat the books like God.

Capital changed my life

5:40- Keynes is not making a "big comeback". It has never left, and we are the worst off for it.

Glad I found your vedio on RU-vid, thanks buddy 😊

You look a little bit like Luka Doncic

I hope Keynesian economics make a comeback

I'd add Human Action by Ludwig von Mises or Man, Economy & State with Power & Market by Murray Rothbard. Therefore we do not miss any mayor school of thought. Great video!

hey its the tik tok guy

Smith describes the "process of the invisible hand regulating the market" and "small state, big market"? Mustn't have read it too closely. Smith uses "invisible hand" in only one context in the Wealth of Nations, that's in describing "home bias", not the "market". In Smith's other work, it's clear he literally means the hand of his God. On "small state, big market" Smith describes the "division of labour" leading to humans "becom[ing] as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become... unless government takes some pains to prevent it." Doesn't sound to "small government" to me. Maybe give it another read

Human Action - Ludwig von Mises

Hello Can I translate your video in my native language! I want to present them the different books from different countries but most of them can't listen well to your language. I will give you a credit and I will make it for commercial use. Also, I will support them to subcribe you. Can I translate your book recommendation videos?

You should read Merrill Jenkins book "Money: the Greatest Hoax On Earth".

he hasnt read those boooks...i have capital and wealth of nations..and my spines are battered, there is just so much content that it takes ages to read and the book is trashed by the end of it.

I wish I could just read a summarized version of Adam Smith. I don't need the superfluous writing style. Just give me the meat.

I know this sounds like a lot

Hot hohol

Book ko aise phekte 1st time dekha kisi ko

hate capital

I’m flabbergasted 😮 that why didn’t you include “good economics for bad times by a Abhijit Banerjee” the Nobel prize winner and amazing economist

Слава україні!🇺🇦

Are you from Russia?

The Road To Serfdom- FA Hayek

Economics professor Thomas Sowell debunked Thomas Picketty's book on the basis of it using wrong/fake data to build its arguments.

Poor economics is best !!!

Drop Thomas Piketty and replace it with "Human Action" from Ludwig Von Mises

No Thomas Sowell...next.

Please handle books decently ... At least don't throw them like that in videos... It hurts me alot..

WTF, None of these books are useful to modern economists, may except Piketty and Keynes. Bad list. Read Wooldridge introductory economics, Banerjee Duflo Poor Economics if you really wanna know what economists do

Recommending Marx and Keynes. That is, to be honest, a very bad choice.

I would remove Keynes
