I wish I could help you. I majored in economics and math, and can't recommend a single one of my economics texts. I kept a good number of my math books, but sold all my econ texts when I graduated.
That being said, you will probably get better results if you specify what you mean by "economics." There are several disciplines within economics: microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, financial economics/mathematical finance, game theory, etc. The material in each of these disciplines will vary considerably depending on how theoretical the textbook is. For example, a graduate-level theoretical macro text might talk about general equilibrium models, but a more practical macro text would cover topics like the implementation of monetary policy, economic history, the relationship between the government and the economy, costs and benefits of international trade, etc.
If anyone knows of a good comprehensive overview of the field, I would be interested in hearing about it.
