I just started The Rise and Fall of American Growth by Robert Gordon. I actually came at economics from history, and Gordon dives deep into the history, which I like. It's over 700 pages, and on loan from a library, I'll never finish it. Still, I can scope out the juicy parts.

"Robert J. Gordon, a distinguished macro*economist and economic historian at Northwestern, has been arguing for a long time against the techno-optimism that saturates our culture, with its constant assertion that we’re in the midst of revolutionary change...

In “The Rise and Fall of American Growth,” Gordon doubles down on that theme, declaring that the kind of rapid economic growth we still consider our due, and expect to continue forever, was in fact a one-time-only event."
