If you haven't liked Economics in your school or college, pick up the book, "Basic Economics" by @ThomasSowell and you will change your mind.
There's not a single equation or chart. Simple words with lots of examples.
A thread on some of the quotes in no particular order.
1. Economics is a study of cause & effect relationships. Its purpose is to discern the consequences of various ways of allocating resources that have alternative uses. It has nothing to say about philosophy or values, anymore than it has to say about music or literature.
2. As an entrepreneur in India put it: 'Indians have learned from painful experience that the state does not work on behalf of the people. More often than not, it works on behalf of itself.
Kartik: Ankit, while you have written about the art of survival in detail, you have not touched upon the thriving part at all in your post.
Do you really want to say that only survival is necessary for achieving success as an investor or as a human being? Don’t you think there is more to it?
Me: That’s an interesting observation, Kartik.
Survival is indeed the biggest requisite for any investor or for any human being, for that matter. But is survival really enough? Never gave it a serious thought. Maybe, to boost me in times of adversity I focus on the one thing and that is survival.

Whenever thinking is a byproduct of an activity (like observing, seeing, reading, writing, listening, talking, etc) it yields far better results than when thinking is your main activity.
Let’s look at the field of investment from this angle.
A thread
1/
When you come across any investment idea, your monkey mind jumps to conclusions by thinking instantly without doing the work.
This initial bias has a lot of influence over your analysis from thereon.
That is the time you should tell yourself.
Do more think less.
2/
The next question which pops up is. Do what?
Slow Down. Don’t think if the idea is good or bad.
Just Observe.
Start with observing the environment.
Qns worth asking
~Is it the right industry to be in?
~Can I understand the business?
~Does it look sustainable?
