I haven’t read this one. Is it just monetary economics?

Man, Economy, and State by Murray Rothbard.
You can tell us how you liked it when you finish it in a year or two.

It is more a history of economics, currency, banking, bonds, and finance.

Not a Rothbard fan. I like Mises and Hayek, but Rothbard didn’t really add anything new to the Austrian school. His works are more like Human Action 2

What kind of econ books? Political economy (like what has already been mentioned) or actual econ books?
Never been a fan of Boettke, and surprised a certain paper isn't referenced in the book you listed. For those who want to read it free, you can get it at Mercatus Free book
For some historical perspective sprinkled with econ, The Undoing Project and Misbehaving are good reads for background on three recent Nobel Laureates.
I'm about to start Straight Talk on Trade by Dani Rodrick, as it deals with globalism and populism.
I'm staring at Economics for the Common Good by Jean Tirole, another Nobel Laureate. Haven't started it yet, but am told to basically skip the first half of it.
If you want to a very detailed look at American economic history, check out The Rise and Fall of American Growth by Robert Gordon.

Yes, I meant actual Econ books lol. I have a ton on my shelf I need to read. Most of what I read is development—Bauer, Easterly, Sachs, Coyne. But I’m getting into Kirzner’s works

I second this one. I actually just read it last month as recommended by Justin Amash and got a lot out of it.

Read some bread and butter Austrian school stuff and it’ll have more packed into it.
