Economics Reading

prophet-of-innovation.jpg To get myself in the proper mindset to start my economics studies in the spring I've been doing some reading, including Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (I've just started my slog through Book IV) and Thomas McCraw's biography of Joseph "Creative Destruction" Schumpeter, Prophet of Innovation, which I'm enjoying quite a bit.

I've also subscribed to a number of economics-related blogs, which, although mostly concerned with either macroeconomics or popular Freakonomics-type topics, are nonetheless interesting: I've tried and then unsubscribed from a few others, including the Mises Economics Blog which I found too strident for my taste.

Suggestions for additional reading are welcome.
