This is a list of textbooks I’ve read and would recommend.
I read a lot of principles-of-economics textbooks (too many, I’d suggest just reading one)
- Robert Frank et al., Principles of Economics
- Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, Modern Principles of Economics

I then tried to broaden my knowledge
- Carl Simon and Lawrence Blume, Mathematics for Economists
- Otto Bretscher, Linear Algebra and Its Applications
- James Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals
- Jeffrey Perloff, Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus
- Charles Jones, Macroeconomics
- Matt Golder, Sona Golder, and William Clark, Principles of Comparative Politics
