Hey,

I want to understand economics and I'm looking for some resources to do so.

Do you know any good resources (books, courses, lectures, etc)?

https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Common-Sense-Economy/dp/0465002609

This is the same material taught in "Economics 1" classes at universities. Only there are no superfluous equations and it is explained in a much, much more understandable way.

If you already have an academia understanding of economics, try Thiel's one to zero:

Adam Smith Wealth of Nations will provide a solid base. 

David Graeber Debt the first 5000 Years 

Probably a good idea to study Karl Marx as well. 

Check out the numerous college courses online, MIT, Stanford, etc. has free courses I am sure they have an Economics course.

If anyone wants to dive deeply into the ocean of economics he/she cannot settle for a 7-dollar snorkel and a pair of smudgy 5-dollar swim-goggles. That which is needed is something rare and much more demanding… It is called meta-goggles. Hehe sorry for the bad analogy :) 

Honestly I think that this thread;

is a great launching pad for deeper understanding and a meta-perspective…

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you can find the core of economics in any of society’s easily available resources. Rarely can you find anything truthful in anything conventionally acceptable. Don’t look for the truth solely in any academic circle
