What are some books to get a grasp on economics? I've been reading pic related and I can understand most of the concepts, but some things like bond yields, I have to look up and learn about.

Economics: The User's Guide by Ha Joon Chang
its the unbiased and explains all types of economics with their benefits and problems; austrian, behaviouralist, neoclassical etc.
Peter Schiff is a fucking gold shilling moron
He says all the right things and then derpos hard into gold. It's a shitty metal that exists in abundance in our solar system, just waiting for miners.
should also add Ha Joon Chang is a professor at Cambridge not some biased gold shill like peter schiff. If you read any economics books, check the author and see if they are biased or not. Most authors just try to shill you their neoclassical stuff without taking into account the other schools.
I only got into economics after hodling Bitcoin and seeing Schiff comparing it to gold.

If u listen to Schiff you deserve to be poor
Schiff is actually good for beginners to read. Just replace his belief in gold for BTC and everything he says is fine.
I don't mean to hijack the thread but this one seems most appropriate.
I understand how certified deposits work, and even know the concept of laddering. But I fail to see why anyone would ever invest in something with a typically bad time:yield ratio. It only seems preferable compared to doing nothing, but only in yield. Compared to a typical bank account it doesn't seem that much better when you factor in the liquidy sacrafice.
Am I missing something or is this just the option you choose instead of doing literally nothing?
Retarded book selection
You're doomed unless you buy my bags in gold, goy!
Schiff often explains that the reason why low yeilding bonds are attractive to large investors, the one hundred year negative yeilding bond that will barely be an inflation hedge; is because governments are seen as low risk.

Peter Schiff was talking about Bitcoin last week, if you think he is reliable as a source of financial information after watching this video, idk what to say.
Max and Stacy usually do a good job exploring the counter party risks to securities.
Particular interviews are with the woman who tracks the Puerto Rico muni bond crisis, Mitch Feierstein talks a lot about bond yields, and Mish Shedlock talks about bond holders.
