well, here goes:

for a general overview, "American Economic History" by Louis P. Cain and Jonathan Hughes is quite o.k. - it starts at the very beginning and ends with the 1980's.

other books i'd recommend are :

"The Great Crash" by J.K. Galbraith
"A Short History of Financial Euphoria" also by Galbraith
"Where the Money Grows and Anatomy of the Bubble" by Garet Garett
"The Trouble with Prosperity" by James Grant
"The Devil take the Hindmost" by Edward Chancellor
"Manias, Panics and Crashes" by Charles Kindleberger
"Debt and Delusion" by Peter Warburton
"Economics and the Public Welfare" by Ben Anderson
"Irrational Exuberance" by Robert Shiller
"Theory of Money and Credit" and "Human Action" by Ludwig von Mises
"America's Great Depression", "The case against the Fed" and "Man, Economy and the State" by Murray N. Rothbard.

the latter five titles should imbue you with the essentials of Austrian economic theory and consequently transform you into what Greenspan, the printer-in-chief, calls a "cynic".
