Im looking to get into economics, what do I read?

I know the basics of economics, like supply and demand, opportunity cost, wants and needs, interest rates, loans, etc., but I want to get into reading some economic theories and economics. Are there any recommendations for books, articles, or videos which I could go through and read or watch?

No Politicians more than 10 years from the mean age of the population.

The job of politicians in a democracy is to represent the people. Now younger and older generations tend to have highly conflicting views yet because of the way the political system is designed, it is difficult for politicians to break into the system. I'm not denying that there are numerous cases in which young politicians break onto the scene but I'm saying that is survivorship bias because a vast majority of them don't. Old politicians simply don't represent the will of the people even if they are being broken for because systems are designed in such a way that it is advantageous to them. A law should be in place in just about every country that politicians cannot be more than ten years above the mean age.

The Need for Political Parties

Recently I have thought of an Idea. That political parties serve none. It creates division and promotes the representation of the party, not the people, it promotes party loyalty.

Politicians who do not adhere to party policy by the letter are blacklisted and targeted by the party heads. Politicians vote against the other party simply because they are the other party. Politicians vote against policies their voters desperately need because the party says no

And what does it produce for society, I fail to see at benefit that cannot be achieved in a system without parties, apart from the sole exception of coordination, but this coordination leads to the people's views not being represented.

That's why I conclude that there is no need for political parties.

Resolved: The United States should eliminate the President’s authority to deploy military forces abroad without Congressional approval.

Considering that the resolution's terms have many different interpretations and that constitutionality and military capabilities are key topics. Are you for or against?
