It's like you tried to make a list of terrible economic books but you couldn't remember exactly what they were, so you looked up ones that liberal professors agree with and ended up with what you were setting out to do in the first place.

Do people really read economics books for fun?
Why?

>>9937437
Stiglitz worked for the Fed or world bank didn't he? There were a few books of his I was interested in but never go around to.

The Money Mafia by Paul hellyer is kinda good if you're willing to handle some /x/

The one, the only

>>9937437
This has to be bait.

>inb4 Austrian shit
Von Böhm-Bawerk and Menger are perhaps the two best economists in history so I would recommend their work.
Alfred Marshall even though it's "dated". Ricardo is still relevant and Turgot is a master and is the most /lit/ economist. Pareto was right about everything. Walras can still be studied.
More recently Armen Alchian is good for price theory and his collected works are easily available in the Indianapolis edition.
James Bachanan is harder to get into but Calculus of Consent is goat.
Anything Wilhem Röpke.
Maurice Allais is criminally underrated in the Anglo world, probably because they can get many of the same ideas in Samuelson.

Patrician.

Probably required reading, even though it's shit.

Every time I try to get into the Austrians they come across as astoundingly autistic and out of touch with reality.

>>9941702
second this

>>9942269
That's because they are autistic. Which doesn't make them not right.
It's not surprising that this school of thought emerged in Austria/South Germany. Imagine Edmund Husserl writing about economics.

>That's because they are autistic. Which doesn't make them not right
I mean it makes their fundamental assumptions about how humans act very out of touch and therefore inaccurate

>>9938087
>common sense
>liberal

Pick one

>>9942456
There is very little assumed about behavior. Typically Austrians just consider that people rank things and consider these rankings are taken as independent variables (as would be, say, probabilities or masses). Also these rankings are the "true" state of preference in an individual and have little to do with conscious phenomena of liking/disliking things (just like the concept of force in physics has virtually nothing to do with the experience of muscular exertion).
This of course leads to extremely autistic phrasing, like information costs being unconscious opportunities, or the relative disregard for social psychology. But it's mostly a problem of words from terminally Asperger writers.

>>9942495
I worded it wrong, some of the axioms in general seem disagreeable to me, not necessarily those about human behavior

>>9942532
Well that was implied in your post and that's usually what triggers people.

Piketty is the only worthwhile author in your list. If you have no economics background don't bother with Piketty and stick to pop economics like Krugman and Stiglitz.

>>9944380
What's wrong with Ariel Rubinstein?

>>9944380
Stigitz and Krugman have objectively contributed much more to economics than Piketty.

>>9942132
>Maurice Allais
He's underrated in the French world too, he's even a kind of outcast. He's never quoted in the mainstream media, only on "alternative" websites.

One could believe he was just a pop economist with a tinfoil hat, if he didn't have that sweet Nobel...

>>9944380
Ridiculous opinion.

Except people don't, and can't really do this, so it leads to a distorted way of viewing how an economy really functions

>...It is a big step from saying that my opportunity cost for having soup for lunch today was not having a sandwich—a clear decision that I probably did actually make in the manner presented—to saying that my entire budget is allocated in such a way that I carefully calculate all my opportunity costs for everything simultaneously, and that I do so using a marginal utility calculus.

Come on guys. Please specify whether you mean economic liberalism or American-colloquial definition of "liberal"
