1) For a concise and non technical introduction to issues of monetary economics I would suggest Alan S. Blinder - Central Banking in Theory and Practice.

2) For an introduction to macroeconomic principles you can try Cores free online textbook. [1]

Thank you. Will look into those.

Another thing i was looking for is a layman's book on how everything (economics+trade+debt+banks+money+etc.) comes together explaining both the concepts and jargon involved. Something which a high-school student can pickup to have an overview of "the market and the system".
