Literature Recommendation: Advanced Undergraduate Economics I come from a strong quantitative background and am going to law school in the fall. I'm interested in financial product regulation and competition law. I have taken an introductory course in economics, but my exposure to economics stopped there.

I was wondering if you had reading suggestions in micro, macro, and financial markets. Although I don't have an issue with calculus, lin alg, or probability, I tend to prefer learning by the use of examples, e.g. "too many chefs in the kitchen" to explain diminishing returns. 

I really don't like jargon and so far I seem to come across a lot of online resources (especially regarding financial products) that seem to use a lot of jargon with little reference to basic concrete examples. I tend to be very detailed oriented, so I prefer texts that lay out their variables and constants clearly. Something lighter and shorter tailored for independent study would be best.
I would suggest Mankiw and EconTalk (despite my Keynesian leanings). 

Specifically Mankiw's text "Principles of Economics" is a great math-light introduction that covers both Macro and Micro. I recommend this edition particularly because you can get it new off Amazon for under $20, though of course the latest edition is best, but the field hasn't changed that much that I'd spend 15x as much to get it.

Additionally Stiglitz, Piketty, Buchanan, and Fama (particularly Fama, given your interest in finance), are all great authors, and in my opinion fairly accessible (in book, not in paper, they're each just as jargonated in paper as any one else).

Hope that helps.
