Ray Dalio's paper is very good.
I've just begun reading 'When Markets Collide' by Mohamed El-Erian. Heard good things about this one, so let's see how it goes.
There isn't a best book but this one is pretty good and easy to digest: http://www.amazon.com/Economic-Growth-2nd-David-Weil/dp/0321416627
A Concise Guide to Macroeconomics. I studied econ as an undergrad, but in the real world this is all you need:

Any decent book about macroecon will do the job. You can look at the one proposed by esbanker or the one published by Pearson. I think there is a lot more but I don't know them. I will add that I wouldn't buy a book edited by a portfolio manager to get " a good understanding of modern economy".
You did not state if you have prior knowledge or not, but for a fun book that gets you interested in econ
FREAKONOMICS is a good start, Steven Levitt, Harvard, MIT, profeesor at Chichago U
around 2000 reviews on amazon
Freakonomics is a little bit off the beaten path though. It's not something you'd read if you want to get a better understanding of macro-economics, but it does illustrate many economic principles through neat and unusual examples.
I almost forgot, there is a one ohour documentary by the author with the exact name, which I really interesting.
For "general"/basic stuff, I'd read: "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman Anything on new Keynesian economics; especially interesting reads from N. Gregory Mankiw (Harvard) and Michael Woodford (Columbia).
'Wealth of Nations' is what you're looking for. Lol
