About this product

Product Information

With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the "Austrian School," which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson , his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson . Hazlitt's focus on non-governmental solutions, strong - and strongly reasoned - anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.

"A magnificent job of theoretical exposition." -Ayn Rand "I strongly recommend that every American acquire some basic knowledge of economics, monetary policy, and the intersection of politics with the economy. No formal classroom is required; a desire to read and learn will suffice. There are countless important books to consider, but the following are an excellent starting point: The Law by Fr d ric Bastiat; Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt; What has Government Done to our Money? by Murray Rothbard; The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek; and Economics for Real People by Gene Callahan. If you simply read and comprehend these relatively short texts, you will know far more than most educated people about economics and government. You certainly will develop a far greater understanding of how supposedly benevolent government policies destroy prosperity. If you care about the future of this country, arm yourself with knowledge and fight back against economic ignorance. We disregard economics and history at our own peril." -Ron Paul, Senator from Texas, "A magnificent job of theoretical exposition." --Ayn Rand "I strongly recommend that every American acquire some basic knowledge of economics, monetary policy, and the intersection of politics with the economy.

A great book about money.
This is the basic book on economics. Over the years I have given away dozens of this book. The book isn't full of complicated formulas or unusual vocabulary words. Every recipient found this tome about the free market to explain how the economy should work.

decades old insights into what is happening today
This book was written in 1946 but was updated in 1979, still quit awhile ago. Mr. Hazlitt guides the reader through all of the unintended conciquences of government intervention in business and labor. His discussions of the effects of a mandated minimum wage is playing itself out now in many major metro areas on the west coast this year. The war against personal savings by our current artificialy low interest rates are explained years before they came to pass. Subsidies and bail-outs of industries are analized. Our "Great recession" would not have happened if our leaders had read and heeded these lessons.

Great examples of how the human behavior works
If more people had basic knowledge of how economics works, politicians could not lie to people as they do today. This book touches on a lot of day-to-day topics that everyone talks about without understanding anything. If you are willing to read it, you will be able to understand your reality much more and, able, to make the people around you begin to question why things happen the way they do. Thank you Mr. Hazlitt
