non-Austrian economics is not a 'type' of economics - rather, the normal economics sub-reddit became swamped with adherents of this basically completely fringe quasi-philosophical, very political, and anti-scientific Austrian 'economics'. The wiki article for it is quite charitable. Basically you can discount about half of all comments in the main subreddit right off the bat.
Trying to think of non-text-books, not-too-mathematical books that are general in scope, fun to read, and minimise politicking...difficult
John McMillan, Reinventing the Bazaar - explanation of the limits and power of markets with many examples
Todd Buchholz, New Ideas from Dead Economists: An Introduction to Modern Economic Thought - a sort of history of economists with a heavy emphasis on their thoughts and contributions using real world examples to illustrate
William Breit and Barry T. Hirsch, Lives of the Laureates - essays by many of the most highly-acclaimed recent economists mostly sort of mixed idea and personal life stories.
Hope these help. Have fun.
One of the best books I ever read for microeconomics was Reinventing the Bazaar: A Natural History of Markets . This isn't the be-all-end-all by any means. However it does provide some insights and stories that highlight some of the sociological elements in microeconomics. Opportunity cost and the impact of free ideas, ownership.
Some more versed in this topic might disagree with me, but I frequently go back to it as a means of simple anecdotes to explain microeconomics. The study notes or full PDF probably exist on the internet somewhere too.
