>>1555744anything you're recommended is likely to be hyper-partisan. I generally think David Colander (RIP) was sound, so you can try his book Economics (2017) which is intended for university students who are taking a compulsory economics course in a different major.
For something less intimidating, try Spin-Free Economics by Nariman Behravesh as a layman's summary of mainstream economic thought. Of course, despite the title, it has an ideological agenda, but so does literally everything else you're likely to find.
ignore everything by Marx, Graeber, Ha-Joon Chang. total nonsense from charlatans.
