I don't really many /biz/books but these were all good, last one I'd recommend to broke newfags. Don't think itll help anyone who knows their shit already.

The Intelligent Investor. Yes, really.
>>24743016
Wealth of Nations suffers from the fact that Adam Smith still believed in the labor theory of value, and it taints a lot of his analysis as a result. But hey, if you want to know about the history of grain prices in England, it's your best source.
I've never read any of Taleb's books, but I like his long form essays.
>>24743092
Ramsey's basically a 12 step program for debt addicts. People that can use their credit cards without being idiots would suffer from following a lot of his advice.

Depends on what you're looking for.
If you're going the historical route, David Ricardo's On the Principles of Political Economy and Das Kapital by Marx can be argued to be the "sequels" to Smith.
If you want something to understand modern economic arguments, Keynes' General Theory.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hayek and the Austrians in general, but a) I don't want to shill you, and b) they were writing to other economists, so you'd need to know what other economists were thinking to understand their arguments.
