Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Hazlitt patiently walks through dozens of economic fallacies—from broken windows to tariffs—using a single core principle: good economics considers both the seen and unseen. The prose is clear, and each short chapter feels like a mental exercise. But the relentless repetition of the same argumentative structure can feel like a sermon, and examples from the 1940s will strike some readers as musty. Best as a starting point for logical thinking, not a comprehensive economics course.”
