I think that “Introduction to economic analysis” by Preston McAfee fits the bill.
A solid choice after the David Friedman text. I didn’t mention it earlier because it strikes me as a bit too mathy and theoretical for the novice reader. D. Friedman’s Price Theory just does a better job as an intro text IMHO, and in fact the author also wrote a very good pop-sci book (Hidden Order).
