Economic reading

Thinking about buying a couple more books to read and just wanted to see what people thought about them. I've read quite a few broader books like Armchair Economist or Wordly Philosophers etc. so I'm trying to read some more specific stuff.

I was thinking about Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom" and Schumpeter's "Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy". I also currently have Baumol's "The Free-Market Innovation Machine" which is interesting but gets quite technical at times - not sure if I should just try understand however much I can or read something "easier".

Oh yes, I did post this on the other thread but it's seriously inactive and sorta wanted help now.

Read them both and whilst they are quite a bit of fun not exactly in-depth Economics.

capitalism and freedom is supposedly quite good.

have not read it myself yet.

for me animal spirits is the other one i want to read when I have time, i am interested in the subject matter.

but I dont know how technical or rather how in-depth they are, i take it you are looking for that sort of thing.

Well I'm looking for something that goes into SOME depth but obviously not too much where I then can't understand a word of it.
