Economics Book List Employment

An introductory book to economics is John Maynard Keynes’s “A General Theory of Income”. This book introduces students to Keynes’s key ideas by defining income and showing how it affects people’s decisions. A more intermediate book for studying economics is Thomas Robert Malthus’s “An Essay on the Principle of Population.” This book discusses how population growth affects other variables in economics and how governments can control this growth using policies, such as taxes and welfare payments. A more advanced book for studying economics is Alfred Marshall’s “Principles of Economics, 5th Edition”, which explains the causes of economic crises and explains how governments can intervene to avoid them. If a student has difficulty understanding Marshall, he may find it easier to understand his ideas by dividing his book into shorter chapters that focus on a particular topic in economics.
