About This Item
New York: A Macfadden-Bartell Book, 1969 A million copy seller, Henry Hazlitt'sEconomics in One Lessonis a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern 'libertarian' economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. 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 ofThe Freemanmagazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wroteEconomics 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. Many current 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 ofEconomics 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 makeEconomics in One Lesson, every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication. --------------- 143 pages Size: Approx 4" Wide and 7" Tall
Synopsis
Economics in One Lesson is an introduction to free market economics written by Henry Hazlitt and published in 1946, based on Frédéric Bastiat's essay Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas . The "One Lesson" is stated in Part One of the book: The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

If you want a straightforward explanation of economics, this is it. Very readable, and does not bog down. If you need to supplement your childs public education in economics, this will do it.
