And I'd something more accessible to build up my understanding and tolerance for complex subjects rather than diving straight into Capital and pulling my hair out.
I've read the forward so far, and it seems promising as it seems like the book is meant as a primer for the basic bullshit terminology and concepts often presented as something you're already supposed to know in the finance media.
I remember seeing this recommended before on a leftist sub, never seen it anywhere but would be interested in knowing if it’s good.
When I was feeling in the same place as you, a few people recommended Ha-Joon Chang’s Economics. It was good, pretty basic but what I needed at the time. He’s a polite social democrat, but seems to make it his life’s mission to convince everyday people that everyday people are allowed to have opinions on economics, and that the interests of classical economists are not aligned with the populace. Despite his anodyne politics two of his books are banned from being read by troops in cringe Korea.
