I recently read two books that I could recommend. They're not explicitly economic history, but they cover it quite a bit.
"The Value of Everything" by Mariana Maracuzo
and,
"License to be Bad" by Johnathan Aldred.
Both give a history of some of the most influential theories in orthodox economics today, and how adherence to those theories lead to a financialization and inequality in our system. Both can be technical at times, but the authors largely avoid mathematics and I was able to follow them no problem with only an undergrad level of education (I have a minor in economics, for reference).
