Required reading before going into a PPE degree? Key texts - /lit/ - Literature

Why aren't there more degrees like this?

I like Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Psychology, Literature and Computer Science.

I would like to study them all. Obviously not become specialized enough to become an expert in any, but I'd come of university as a well-rounded patrician.

Because modern people are mostly too stupid and ill-educated to be polymaths.

Piketty.

More accessible:

Stiglitz.
Krugman.

There are pre-university courses available outside the UK/US like the Irish Leaving Certificate or the French bacaloria. Over-specialisation from an early age is a specifically Anglo-Saxon thing.

If someone's going to cite Piketty/Krugman/etc unironically, they deserve to be stealth katana'd desu.

So basically you want a liberal arts program that "teaches" you a lot of things but renders you utterly useless?

I'd say someone with a single, oversubscribed skill is more useless. See also: Infinite Jest.

Capital, imperialism by lenin, adam smith, ricardo, leviathan, aristotle, plato, poulantzas, schumpeter, hilferding, ernest mandel, rousseau, merleau ponty, trotsky, keynes, immanuel wallerstein, foucault, beauvoir, baudrillard, umberto eco (texts on pop culture), gramsci, prob gonna end up reading mankiw or some intro shit

But mainly just read capital, 100% honest. It simply covers so much ground in one book.
