This article explores the crucial role of the English language in accessing
global economic research, data, and knowledge. In an increasingly interconnected
world, English has become the dominant language of economic literature, academic
publications, and international institutions. The paper highlights how a strong
command of English enables students, researchers, and professionals to engage with
original sources, understand economic terminology, and participate in global
academic and policy-making communities. Drawing on well-known books such as
Globalization and Its Discontents, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, and The
Wealth of Nations, the article emphasizes the importance of reading in English to
gain accurate insight into key economic theories and real-world applications.
Ultimately, the article argues that learning English is essential not only for academic
success but also for professional development and global collaboration in the field of
economics
