I notice quite a few threads here with rather divergent opinions about economic theory, so I thought I'd ask the general question for all readers, what writings about economics do you recommend for a nonspecialist? I'm particularly eager to find readable basic expositions of economics that presuppose knowledge of calculus. One example I have found ishttp://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechBOOK:2005.002
and I would be happy to hear about more, as I haven't committed myself to any one approach to economics as I try to self-educate in that subject.
