Okay, start with macroeconomics. It teaches how economy works in a country and relationship between other countries. You could also check microeconomics a bit, but it's more mathematically oriented and might be boring for you.
Anyway, people recommend Macroeconomics by Mankiw, whichever edition you can get your hands on, but obviously the latest edition is the best. Personally, I had Samuelson & Nordhaus Macroeconomics and it explained things in a very simple way.
Then you might want to get into Corporate Finance to learn how firms make their investment decision - again, there is no "the best" textbook, just google it up and see which one is recommended the most. Accounting principles is next, but unless you want to have a career in finance or accounting you can skip it - it teaches how accountants register invoices etc..
I recommend you start with macroeconomics and see if it interests you, since it's something that affects you the most.
Pic related is /biz/ recommended literature, but you can skip a few by reading that macro I've posted. The rest is just a bit of technical stuff you won't really understand until you have the basics down (Security analysis etc.) and behavioral psychology (How to win friends...).
And skip management and any variation like organizational behavior since it's shit and you will just be wasting your time.

Apropos: Samuelson & Nordhaus's book is called Economics, not Macroeconomics and it actually includes both Micro and Macroeconomics. The second half is macro orientated.
Don't know what I was thinking.

Anyway, I've compiled my own version of /biz/ recommended literature. It doesn't shove so much theory down your throat as others - mostly just behavioral shit, 2 econometrics books if you're really interested, but mostly just politics in relation to economics. All of it is interesting nonetheless.

I stumbled on this book somehow in high school and it changed my life. Not that it had some kind of special meaning, but it made me realize I should get rich since everyone else has/had it so fucking horrible. Very good book and easy to read.

Yeah, it was a good read. It kinda gets repetitive after a hundred pages or so, they could have easily shorted it by a hundred pages by stringing examples together and describing inclusive and extractive institutions in one go instead of describing the same thing over half a chapter in every chapter.
Would still read it though. 'tis a good book.
>>1236760
Yeah now that you mention it I remember it felt like an essay trying to meet the page requirement. If I wasn't a history buff, probably would've dropped it after a hundred pages.
