I believe I have blogged about this before, but if done correctly, you can almost, if not entirely teach economics without a textbook., Here, for example, is the Khan academy series on microeconomics and here is the one on macroeconomics.
After the students watch the videos, you can go over the highlights, answer questions and quiz them. I usually have students write down the diagram, labeling everything (just as is done on the AP exam) and we work out a few problems together. Then the students work on the problem sets and I move around the room.
