It's weird that some people completely understand the following concept: if you don't understand something, it doesn't mean it's bad. But at the same time are unable to apply this concept to economics.

If you're a left-leaning person (in economic politics) and have an open mind, I suggest https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730 -- but I'm sure there are other respectable economics who have written easy to understand distillations of the basic theories. I mean actually reading Marx & Engels will give you many of these theories as well, even if a few centuries out-of-date and without the current knowledge on how applying some of their own theories went (= incredibly badly).
