Grigory Bazhenov/What to read is not only possible, but also necessary

Do you know why I do economic education? So that in Russia of the future, presidents do not quote the book of Ha Joon Chang.

And well, it's just impossible. Don't read such books.

What to read is not only possible, but also necessary:

1. S. Landsburg. "The Economist on the Couch" (an introduction for those who want to understand how economists think)
2. L. Zingales. "Capitalism for the people. Liberal revolution against a corrupt economy" (a tale of why markets are so important)
3. D. Rodrik. "Economy decides. The strength and weakness of the "gloomy science" (on modern economic science and the status of economic models in it)
4. K. Athreya. "Big Ideas in Macroeconomics: A Nontechnical View" (probably top 101 in macroeconomics)
5. M. De Frey. "A History of Macroeconomics. From Keynes to Lucas to the Present" (an essential book for understanding the development of macroeconomics)
6. S. D. Wilmson. "Macroeconomics" (top modern macro textbook for bachelors)
7. S. Landsburg. "Price Theory and Its Applications" (very textured book on microeconomics)
8. Alberto Alesina, Francesco Javazzi. "Liberalism is a leftist idea" (the book will allow you to understand how to properly present market ideas to supporters of the extreme left, as well as our own cotton-wool community)
9. And, of course, CoreEcon^[1], which I have already started translating. Not everything is perfect there, but this is a good textbook from the Economics for Non-Economists series. And for future economists as an intro is also very good.
