Wealth of Nations, then Kapital, then Capital in the Twenty-First Century.

>economics beyond surface-level (history, different systems, et al).
well if you take out the human element, it's math.

Yeah, but like with most things, humans fuck it up and make it way more convoluted than it really has to be, so here I am having to try and piece all of it together.

go to the econ department website for top US universities, look at their course syllabi and textbooks for their graduate program, start reading.

Honestly, just buy a textbook.

But here's a reading list:
Start with the undercover economist by Tim Hartford
Then read:
Why Nations Fail (economic history/development)
Thinking fast and slow (behavioural)
Freakonomics (experimental)

Then you should either go on to a textbook and/or read classics:
The Wealth of Nations
Hayek's the use of Knowlege in Society and the Road to Serfdom (more political economy)
The general theory of interest and money (note: many parts outdated)
Free to choose, if you are convinced by the arguments move onto The Machinery of Freedom

Most modern economics is in papers rather than books, usually the NBER ones are fairly accessible and represent the latest insights from empirical economics.

Read volume 1 of Georges Bataille's The Accursed Share and then move on with your life.

An economics textbook. As this anon>>9676761 said, most unis will have course syllabi online which will outline textbooks used in specific classes. If you want your econ in a more narrative-based format, I'd recommend 'Basic Economics' by Thomas Sowell. Admittedly, this book provides surface level knowledge (with an obvious conservative bias), but it's better than reading pop trash like in your pic related.
