As someone who is trained both undergrad and Masters in Economics, Bastiat is my go to Economist. His reading IMO is easy enough for the layperson to pick up and comprehend just fine, and he's so explicitly clear about the topics. You can disagree, but you can't easily manipulate what he said to pretend he meant something else. It's simple without being simplistic and if someone wanted to understand why I'm extremely lib economically he's one of 3 economists I'd recommend.

“Economics in One Lesson” by Hazlitt was recommended to me in High School and led me to studying Econ in undergrad; it is basically a 200 page exposition on Bastiat’s Broken Window Fallacy.
