Some of the above are out of print. I assume a reader who knows that one needs to read with paper and pen in hand. I deliberately do not include books by Christopher Bliss, Edwin Burmeister, or Avinash Dixit on growth theory, since I want to emphasize critics of mainstream economics. Nothing against them, and I could probably extend the above list with some thought. I have provided related lists before:
- List from 2006
- Lists of collections (not textbooks).
- Critiques of mainstream textbooks. I do not have the above Varoufakis textbook in this list.
- Important books (not textbooks) in the development of marginalist economics.
- List appended to post in 2020
- Some books are mentioned in this list of fields impacted by the CCC.
I suppose one might have other lists more Marxist than any of the above, a list for Leontief input-output analysis, a list for ecological economics, and a list with more emphasis on the history of economics.
Textbooks have been available for half a century that teach correct price theory.
