What would you recommend for redpilled intros to economics? I'm essentially economically illiterate. I don't really know what inflation and interest rates and all that jazz really mean or represent.

I recommend you forget about the politics, at least at the beginning and focus on learning just principles from introductory books. I started with "Principles of economics" by Gregory Mankiw (pretty sure you can find it in b-ok (dot) org, but I haven't checked).

You need to know high school algebra to understand some concepts (up to derivatives I would say), after you get a good understanding of supply-demand curves you'll be set to start getting into the politics of economics. This is mostly because taxes/subsidies and who pays what stems from these curves. What I mean from this is you don't need to read the whole book in depth, so don't be daunted by the length of it.
