Taking Econ in high school

Miscellaneous Newbies
1

I’m going into AP Economics next year for my senior year, and I was wondering what books could best help me in analyzing and looking at the information presented to me in that class (we’re using Mankiw’s textbook, so standard neoclassical stuff) in an Austrian way, and revising or refuting it from that standpoint.

So, give me at least five books that would be best for this specific purpose besides Rothbard’s MES (which is almost the Austrian textbook, I suppose). I’m especially interested in the “macro” areas of Austrian thought.

It seems that Garrison’s Time and Money is perfect for this task… but it is a little pricey. How is that book? Is it worth it?

Thanks.

There’s a beta version of Murphy’s Lessons for the Young Economist available for reading, if you’re interested in that.

I know I used both Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson”, and some of “Human Action”, but for that it wasn’t too much, I can’t recall all that I used to ridicule what the AP test was having us learn.. still pulled a 4 though on macro…
