📚 Introductory Economics Readings
A friendly guide for future economists at the Sorbonne School of Economics
Welcome! If you’re reading this, you’re probably getting ready to start your studies in the Licence of Economics – International Track at the Sorbonne School of Economics. Whether or not you’ve studied economics before, these books and articles will give you a taste of the kinds of ideas and questions that economists explore — in a fun, accessible, and sometimes surprising way.
This list isn’t required reading — it’s just here to inspire you, get you thinking like an economist, and make the transition into university life a bit smoother.
💡 What is economics, really?
Economics isn’t just about money, markets or graphs. At its heart, it’s about understanding how people make decisions, how societies allocate resources, and how we can improve the world we live in. These books offer a variety of perspectives — from everyday mysteries to global poverty. You will of course see in your courses how we model the economy using formulas, graphs and equations but we want you to understand the concepts beyond the math!

Tutorship: Starting next week — Monday, 13th October - A system of tutorship will be implemented and will continue until the end of the semester.
What is a tutor?
The tutoring program provides personalized academic support to first-year students in small groups (maximum of 5 students per group).
Important: Tutoring sessions are not repeat lectures or additional tutorials. Instead, they are designed to help students improve their study methods, for example by:
- Using lecture notes and textbooks effectively
- Distinguishing essential content from supplementary material
- Creating structured summary sheets
- Approaching tutorial exercises strategically
- Working on additional exercises tailored to their needs
Students are expected to bring their course materials and any prepared exercises to each session.
How does it work?
According to the tutor’s schedule, you can go to the designated room C 9.04 to work with the tutor and a few other students (maximum of 5).
Sessions operate on a first-come, first-served basis.Timetable
