My favourite economics book so far is "A little History of Economics" by Niall Kishtainy. Takes the reader from the beginnings of economics in the age of the Greeks to the modern economy, exploring all types of themes and economists. I would recommend it strongly to anyone who wants to understand economics, already likes economics, and someone who wants to be able to link economic theories together smoothly.

I’ve always wanted to study economy but due to unfortunate life events I couldn’t even finish high school till my 20’s. I’m in my 30’s now and fell in love with the way economics and politics explain how pretty much the world ended up shaping itself. Have I made it into university? No. I’m stuck in Japan working more hours than anyone should. But it’s a goal I’m gonna reach someday. Thanks for the video! Cheers

Hello bro I need your help on books man

[@mehdielharti2877]

As an economic historian myself all you say is in this video is music to my ears. I love you man

[@NOBODY_319]

Bro which minor will be better for economics major. Political science or history

[@mehedihasan-ui6qt]

So Economics History is the Economics that I expected it to be in my undergraduate but unfortunately I was greatly disappointed finding out that it's all about maths! You are the senior I don't have in my department, bdw..I'm currently a 2nd a Econ student.

[@bonicheque6127]

Thank you for this video, I recently got an A* for my A-levels Economics (a UK high school diploma). After watching some of your videos I'm determined to pursue it for my undergrad

[@MarketPowerYT]

Congratulations!

[@Caius1930]

Don't. I have. Not employable especially if you graduate during the worst economic crisis in the past century

[@kareemsoussan522]

I’m taking an Economics History class next semester!

[@MarketPowerYT]

Awesome! It's incredibly satisfying.

[@invinciblelittledevil5309]

I m completing my 12th grade this years with my majors in history ,political science and economics so i m deciding to study economic history in the future.

[@joev2826]

Wow, thank you!! It's amazing, and your enthusiasm is contagious 🍀

[@anandad4965]

Awesome video. Keep up the good work. Lot's of love and support from India

[@misssunshine537]

Such a wonderful video Mr. Craig! I'm in love with your content. Thank you for your contribution to help amateur economists like me★

[@bazinga489]

First of all, so much respect and love from Turkey. The reason that I am saying where I come from is to apologize for my English. I really liked your video and I can see your amazement to economic history. That's the thing makes your video so reliable and enjoyable for me. Actually my major is on cinema and television. But recently I found myself reading about economic history. I always wanted to know how the world works. I used to read novels, poems, phycological books etc to understand it but none of them gave what actually I want to learn. But after I discovered economic history, finally I find out what I need. 😊 I feel so happy to try to improve myself in a field which is unreleated to my actual major. That makes me understand this world in a wider view.

[@duppa]

My university has a whole department dedicated to just Economic History separately from our Econ department, personally I’m more of a maths buff so have never taken any of their courses but they look very interesting

[@francisllaguno2794]

Economic history is context. Thanks man!

[@sugandhaverma4505]

You are doing great work by your vedios Craig sir👏👏👏 There should be some more channels like your's... Love from India ❤

[@rockiesinoctober]

Love the shirt!

[@farahawad7629]

1:30 I wish someone told me this before I declare lol

[@odellkeyes6218]

Thank you for this video

[@zellis333]

Can you do a video elaborating on being an amateur economist? How you would go about it, what skills you need, how to get published/recognition? This is extraordinarily interesting and expiring to me and I would love to learn more about it.

[@leonelbarreto8054]

In my undergraduate in economics I took: Economic history, Business history, modern contemporary history In MSC I took history of economic thought One day if I pursue a Phd will be in the history field 🙏🏾

[@mehedihasan-ui6qt]

Wow Rebeccas story was eye opening!

[@mamahugyou]

Will love to see a video talking about behavioural econs since it's seen as the next big thing!

[@MarketPowerYT]

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWjaqGyhqq-dpa8

[@cheemaskillz4935]

Great vid. I’m thinking of applying for an undergrad at lse for econ and econ history 👍

[@earlydanendraputra6682]

as historian the reason why economic history its interesting because we got a crappy side history on high school. Since then a lot of historical fact -outside what we learn from school- that we know later on it's gonna blow our mind.

[@JelloRicaneur]

Craig, I love you!

[@vladf777]

Hey Craig, could you do a video on career directions with an econ degree? Also do you think that a MSMF is worthwhile?

[@aryankumarprasad1574]

Would really like the review for Arts and Mind

[@StickmanA]

I like your dedication to reading

[@MarketPowerYT]

I feel like I don't read enough!

[@gauravagrawal6894]

Hey!! I am from India. Which field of Economics is better if I want a mix flavour of studying ground level problem of developing country (India) and then solving it through advisory or foundation ?? Not just collecting data and programmed it into some conclusion on computer.

[@diegocarillo9235]

Grand Pursuit by Sylvia Nasar is a fantastic economics history book!

[@wenkaiyang1487]

so for developing countries such as Mexico or some parts in the middle east, do you think the data is significantly lacking? Will you face the language barrier as well?

[@clarkec5]

I also recommend In Fed We Trust. That was a great read!

[@MarketPowerYT]

In Fed We Trust is one of my favorites.

[@svengollie1195]

What are your thoughts on Basic Economics book by Thomas Sowell?

[@ojeboazuka4250]

If want to buy the testbook how can go of it

[@NOBODY_319]

Sir I'm thinking of taking economics major what minor will be better history or political science

[@allabouteconomics2258]

From where I can buy these economic history books ?

[@psikeyhackr6914]

Double entry accounting is 700 years old. Invented in Italy. Why hasn't it been mandatory in the schools since Sputnik? What did Adam Smith and Karl Marx say about Planned Obsolescence?

[@kellypaws]

Because school curricula are selected according to parental acceptance, including allowance for religion and gun ownership i.e. they are asymmetric models of stupid.

[@biplavpoudel4967]

Hi! I have recently accomplished my MSc in Accounting & Finance. Now, I am interested to do Phd in Political Economy. So, Can I get admission in university for my phd program although I do not have educational background in politics and economy?

[@SharmarkeNur-q3u]

I wonder, can you study two different field in economics at the same time?

[@mohammedhusein9019]

Please ;how can I successful on econometrics course?

[@xiadanji]

After watching your video, I seriously consider to take a Ph.D. program in Economic History. However, I am not good at math. Would you explain a little bit to what extent that PhD in Economic History program requires math? I will be so grateful to know your comment

[@RazV6]

I'm gutted econ history wasn't offered in my undergrad..

[@imanmalekshahi3497]

i'd really appreciate if you could introduce some good econ history books which are useful for institutional development

[@MarketPowerYT]

Doug North is the main source for econ history + institutions.

[@NippleTechnology-cc8bg]

Well what's your favourite piece of economic history?

[@MarketPowerYT]

My specialty is Haitian economic history.

[@jantjehouten5806]

major lol at constantly hinting on dropping the book recommendation "soon", just drop it then let me decide if I want to continue watching you go on about "your experiences". Whether you provide valuable information to me or not is a repeated game, stringing me along will not make me subscribe in the long term even though it will make me watch this exact video for a longer time

[@tyromemadkins6926]

Can you do a video on UCLA Economics and property rights?

[@MarketPowerYT]

I reviewed a book on property rights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZK5pH-jgMeqrJI I'll eventually have some more on the topic. Probably won't do a video on UCLA though!

[@INDISPENSABLE_DAYSTAR]

So you have books on it please?

[@karimal-mufakkir4041]

Actually, economic history is a field of history. That’s good.

[@declanmellor2244]

Are you working at BYU now? I'm a sophomore in highschool and am hoping to go to BYU!

[@MarketPowerYT]

I did my undergrad at BYU, but I work at USU. You should apply to both!

[@lowreztv]

Every time people talk about slave history they feel the need to play sad music and speak in a more serious cadence, it's transparent and demeaning.

[@baidan5962]
