A List of Economics Books

If you don't know where to start with economics, one of the world's oldest and most fundamental academic fields, try this list of 50-1 economics books! I had to read many of these in college for one of my degrees, and the rest were discovered over time and have been widely lauded. The books cover the wide range of economic thought & theory and a number of sub-fields. Hope these help!
