Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers is a good place to start.

Start with the Mycenaean Greeks, Linear B texts to be precise.

Just read research papers textbooks on economics. You should read anything else only if you want to learn about the history of economics rather than economics itself.

Start with the clay tablets found in Tell Brak, Syria dating from the fourth millennium BC. They denote an inventory of 10 goats.

Start with the Sumerians. The earliest clay tablets in Sumeria were examples of prewriting; the pictographic impressions did not render the sounds of the Sumerian language, but were used simply as memory aids in recording economic data. This earliest Sumerian recordkeeping was a way of keeping inventory of merchandise by drawing crude pictures of each item.
