Would appreciate any recommendation on learning about equity

Beginner in the field of investing, equity, stocks, etc. and would like to know if there are any useful guides that are comprehensive for learning. I know these concepts are pretty important in IB so want to make sure I understand stuff like stocks and trading.

Thanks for the help in advance.

This video by Bill Ackman (hedge fund manager) covers the basics of accounting, finance, and stock market fundamentals, great for starting to learn about the space. 

. Would also recommend this video on economic cycles and how the government/public policy works by Ray Dalio (another hedge fund manager) https://youtu.be/PHe0bXAIuk0.
