A magnificent job of theoretical exposition Ayn Rand
Those who wish to ponder the policy implications of the Austrian view at
greater length can't do better than picking up a copy of Henry Hazlitt's
Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt is one of the finest writers ever to tackle
economic issues. In this book, inspired by Bastiat's conception of the seen and
unseen aspects of policy, he examines a wide variety of economic interventions
Gene Callahan
Henry Hazlitt s explanation of how a price system works is a true classic:
timeless, correct, painlessly instructive Milton Friedman
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 peri Ron Paul
If I am able to get my children to read only one economics text in their
lifetime, God forbid, it would be Hazlitt s. [2] Mark Spitznagel� �
In a paperback edition in 1961, a new chapter was added on rent control, which
had not been specifically considered in the first edition apart from government
price-fixing in general. A few statistics and illustrative references were
brought up to date.
In 1978, a new edition was released. In addition to bringing all illustrations
and statistics up to date, an entirely new chapter on rent control replaced the
previous one of 1961, and a final new chapter, "The Lesson After Thirty Years,"
was added.
The Madrid-based Spanish publishing house Uni?n Editorial, which traditionally
publishes books in Spanish language in defense of market economy and liberalism,
released La Econom?a en una lecci?n in 1981, 1996 and 2005.
A German edition, titled Economics. Uber Wirtschaft und Misswirtschaft, was
first released in 1983 by Poller in Stuttgart. In May 2009, it was reprinted by
Olzog.
