Can highly recommend Erik Angner's new book on economics for better understanding (and helping!) the world.
Nice overview for economic thinking; basically a _Freakonomics_ for the 2020s.
"The conversational tone is excellent for the wide audience he intends — those skeptical of economists and economics — and it’s easy enough to follow along his clear prose even for those without prior training in our arcane arts. With plenty of personal anecdotes, Angner illustrates relevant and crucial economic themes of our times, summarizing well-established literature and occasionally offering some ways in which economics can indeed help save the world"
