Books for Economics Optional For UPSC Paper -1 English

Since last two-three years, UPSC seems to be awarding economics well and it is no longer considered to be a ‘low-scoring’ optional.
The subject is technical in comparison to the other mainstream optionals but is equally relevant in current times.
The input output ratio of this optional is positively correlated and it is unlikely that if you have done the paper well that you will get low marks.
Covers a major portion (around 30 marks) in UPSC prelims GS Paper-I
Covers almost 50 – 60 % syllabus of GS Paper – 3
Study material is readily available in market for reference

You need to be good with graphs as there are tons of them (but if u master them they’ll fetch u easy marks)
You need to be good with mathematics (not brilliant but good)
If taken up without genuine interest in the subject it will screw up your entire preparation
