What are some really good books on American history? I'm primarily interesting in philosophy/values of early America and economic history.
A Struggle for Power by Theodore Draper is a good read on the causes of the American Revolution. Not specifically on early philosophy/ economics per se, but does touch on those aspects as well as others in the overall theme.

Democracy in America by Tocqueville is THE MOST important book on early American Democracy and society.

Anything by Gordon S. Wood. The Radicalism of the American Revolution deals exactly with the values/philosophies of the founders and the Revolution. Empire of Liberty is a great general overview of the country from the ratification of the Constitution through the War of 1812.
