Gee anon I don't know, some actual books maybe?
Anyway though, read general histories, introductions to economic, philosophical and political schools of thought and any non fiction books about things that affect your everyday life or subjects that you feel you might be interested in.
Accumulating knowledge is a long process anon that requires reading about vast and sometimes contradicting subjects, and no matter how much you read, I find it hard to believe that anyone could collect enough wisdom to form an encompassing and consistent understanding of the general aspects of life before he hits his mid 20s.
