Economics is a highly practical subject.  It helps us understand the underlying principles of various economic phenomena and provide us with an alternative perspective to analyze different social issues.  We recommend the following entry level readings to those who are going to know more about Economics:

『賣桔者言』—張五常著

『用經濟學做眼睛』—雷鼎鳴著

These two books are written in Chinese.  Readers may find these two books are somewhere difficult to be understood, but they demonstrate clearly how beautiful economic explanations can be.  Many contemporary grand Economics masters have been writing blogs to share their views about current issues to readers.  We strongly recommend the followings:
