There is a diverse range of topics in economics course. It covers aspects of monetary economics, international trade besides basics of macroeconomics and macroeconomics
Therefore for each subject you will have to study concepts from books. It depends upon your knowledge base that you can grasp all the concepts clearly from one book or may require additional books reading for conceptual clarity. No one can give you a 1+1+1+1 book formula for economics

Totally agreed with you. Having solid concepts is what the new Economics syllabus demands. Someone can clear the concept from one book. Some may need more than one.

But, feeling a strong prescriptive temptation, I suggest Caravan Publisher's BA/BSc level books authored by Dr. Muhammad Hussain Chaudhry. I found those books quite handy while preparing for CE-2015. But be advised that these are not the only books that would suffice for preparation as shtanzeel pointed out.

Agreed. Even a very basic Book of A. Hamid Shahid is sufficient if it clears your concept. For Paper-II. in 2014, i only studied Habib Ullah Vaseer book of Intermediate Part-II. I was able to secure around 75 marks in it easily. No one will be willing to believe that it helped me to the extend. One should be conceptually clear and should not fear writing in paper. Thats all as far as economics is concerned. You should be 100% clear, whatever you are writing. This is only possible if you have conceptual clarity

Dear should not confuse yourself in books detail on what book is good to read or not.Two things are required in this regard,first personal aptitude for the subject with critical analysis,second any book on micro-macro can be beneficial once one is falls fit to one condition.

the paper is very technical ,i guess every applicant will take average of 140.
