Good balance of traditional left and right wing economics ideas
This book is a great start to understanding economics. It shows you the basics and references books which relate to each chapter and even had a ‘in a nutshell’ idea of each chapter for easy reference.
My criticism would be that some ideas seems to contradict each other in terms of ‘what’s the best plan for x situation’ but I suppose that’s very apt because the book demonstrates that there are multiple ideas from different perspectives of how economics works (and doesn’t). Very interesting and great gateway to actually being interested in economics.

Decent Summaries which give you a taste
Quite enlightening for the novice. Chapter structure takes some getting used to. Chapter titles need to state the name of the text being summarised!
