Its biggest feature is that it is easy to learn, and basically all theories are accompanied by cases, which are very intuitive and easy to understand. The second major feature of this book is its extensive knowledge and extensive teaching of economic principles. For example, subjects such as money and banking, finance, international finance and international trade are condensed into one or two chapters in this book. Therefore, by studying this book, beginners will be expected to have an overall understanding of the main knowledge and content of economics.

Economics, translated by Samuelson and Chen Xiao.

This is a classic! Although the difficulty is slightly higher than Man Kun's Principles of Economics, it is still an economics textbook for beginners. There are not many cases in this book, but the text and discussion are very rigorous. In addition, it is the economics textbook with the highest cumulative sales volume abroad.

Economics, by Stiglitz, translated by Huang Xianfeng

This book is especially close to the times and China. The book not only teaches readers how to understand new economic phenomena and explain economic problems in the digital age, but also tells readers how to evaluate the Asian financial crisis and how to look at the economic transformation of the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and China.

The Economics of Milk Coke, translated by Frank and Lv Jia.

This book starts with the difference between milk and coke packaging, and tells stories to make readers unconsciously accept the way of thinking of economics. It is not a textbook, but a best seller, that is to say, after reading this book, you need to look at the economics textbooks written by the masters.

Wu Jinglian album, Wu Jinglian.

It contains all the important articles of Wu Jinglian from 1982 to 2005, so this book objectively records the changes of China's economy since the reform and opening up, and it will tell you the differences between China's economy and that of western countries.

In addition, some books familiar with economics or finance courses can usually be found in the library:

Published by Renmin University of China Press, edited by Finance Huang Da.

Gao Hongye's "Western Economics" and Song Hongbing's "Currency War", but it still needs some economic foundations.

Also, I think what we read in some economic and financial books is mostly adapted to the western economic environment, and many theories deviate from our economic situation to a great extent, so it is necessary to read some articles by economic critics. You can look at their blogs, such as Lang Xianping, Yi Xianrong, Ye Tan, Zhang Wuchang (I don't like their writing), Chen Gong (the boss of Anbang Consulting) and so on. Their articles are generally aimed at economic hotspots, which are of great practical significance and help to understand the real economic phenomenon.
