Faculty of Economics: Preliminary Part I Reading List
Introduction
This reading list is designed to provide information about the scope and content of Part I of the
Economics Tripos at Cambridge. The books on the list have been chosen to be widely available
(for example, in school or public libraries) and where possible to be relatively inexpensive. Books
marked with an asterisk are recommended texts for the course concerned, and are therefore
more advanced than most of the other material on this list. However candidates may find it useful
to obtain these books before coming to Cambridge in October.
You will find it easier to understand many of the issues covered in the course if you have a basic
familiarity with key developments in Britain, Europe and the world in the 20th century. For this
reason the list also includes a number of books on historical topics. These are not assigned to any
specific Tripos paper.
