I am looking for economics books written by famous economists which are controversial. I am preparing myself to an interview for Economics degree at university and I want to have some matters to discuss with my interviewer. I heard Affluent Society by Galbraith may be one of these as well as books by von Mises. Any other suggestions?

I don't know if these are controversial, but a few pop econ books that I have enjoyed reading are:
"Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell
"The Undercover Economist" (can't remember the author)
"The Naked Economist"

Capital Volumes 1, 2, and 3 by Karl Marx. Also Grundrisse and Theories of Surplus Value (also by Marx). Karl Marx was probably the most influential political economist of the 19th century.

innovations like own loan and ilk? if so, considering which you pronounced you're sixteen, i'd propose taking a finance (confident, finance) classification in highschool. there is different terminology which would be understood with the aid of even making use of the dictionary, inclusive of "mixture" for a concept like mixture call for. you besides would would attempt keyword phrases on searchengines, inclusive of "what's inflation?".
