    Well. Ok.

    I probably cannot help you really, but I’ll throw a suggestion. You should start your study of economics here: https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730

    Sadly, you will scoff at and ignore my advice right now, but perhaps you’ll remember this some day and are able to integrate the knowledge better after some life experience. Good luck and remember: you don’t have to be a communist. You can choose to be something much more. It’s never too late to change, especially when you’re young.

      Why would I read Sowell when I already know about neoliberalism and what it did literally everywhere it was tried?

      Recommending Sowell unironically for economics is like recommending L. Ron Hubbard for physics. Sowell is a crank and supports Imperialism and Colonialism, as in his own admitted views believes they enrich the victims. Not only that, but he makes incredibly basic, fundamental mistakes whenever he has to talk about Marxism, proving himself uneducated on the matter and unqualified to talk about it.
