@Nightmares Trying to figure out what physical books i should get next and need recommendations
obvs have the lists and all that stuff lol but its hard to figure out which ones to actually buy
This is pretty much everything i've got on me atm, still have a lot more in boxes somewhere. Read most of these at least once, some a few years ago, others a lot more recently. Don't stand by some of the s*** in a few of them anymore, but any type of reading can be important if you think critically while you do it. unfortunately i've fallen almost completely out of reading fiction lately.

The ones that are more rare, I can't think of the title rn but the one about the wars of Reconstruction is an essential physical copy for me and it's getting harder to come by nowadays.
I can't really think of anything off the top of my head rn I'll get back to you though.

Contending Economic Theories: Neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian by Richard Wolff
Contending Economic Theories offers a unique comparative treatment of the three main theories in economics as it is taught today: neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian. Each is developed and discussed in its own chapter, yet also differentiated from and compared to the other two theories. The authors identify each theory's starting point, its goals and foci, and its internal logic. They connect their comparative theory a***ysis to the larger policy issues that divide the rival camps of theorists around such central issues as the role government should play in the economy and the class structure of production, stressing the different a***ytical, policy, and social decisions that flow from each theory's conceptualization of economics.
The authors, building on their earlier book Economics: Marxian versus Neoclassical, offer an expanded treatment of Keynesian economics and a comprehensive introduction to Marxian economics, including its class a***ysis of society. Beyond providing a systematic explanation of the logic and structure of standard neoclassical theory, they a***yze recent extensions and developments of that theory around such topics as market imperfections, information economics, new theories of equilibrium, and behavioral economics, considering whether these advances represent new paradigms or merely adjustments to the standard theory. They also explain why economic reasoning has varied among these three approaches throughout the twentieth century, and why this variation continues today—as neoclassical views give way to new Keynesian approaches in the wake of the economic collapse of 2008.
Why are you stacking your books like this... Bookcases be like $25. Those spines especially on the paperbacks are gonna be busted soon enough. Don't even have them stacked based on weight/density
In progress. At this point I grab the books offline, read it, if I like it I'll add it to my wish list and eventually grab it.
Not at my place so this is my goodreads own shelf, which is what I have physicals of.

Most are in storage, read all of them. Unless the book is super rare and doesn't have a scan online I don't buy books before reading.
Good thread.
Hey is there any fiction you'd recommend? Could be anything really. I almost never read or buy fiction nowadays because I'm so anxious about the fact I might end up not liking it lol.
