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
- Gregory Mankiw, Principles of Economics
- Paul Krugman and Robin Wells, 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
- Matt Golder, Sona Golder, and William Clark, Principles of Comparative Politics
- David Weil, Economic Growth
- Arthur Robinson and Daniel Ullman, The Mathematics of Politics
- Darrin Speegle and Bryan Clair, Foundations of Statistics with R
- Garrett Grolemund and Hadley Wickham, R for Data Science
- James Stock and Mark Watson, Introduction to Econometrics
- Jonathan Gruber, Public Finance and Public Policy
