Henry Hazlitt

Economics In One Lesson

 Introduction

return to previous page

Henry Hazlitt's masterful work, Economics in One Lesson, has been called "the shortest and surest way to understand basic economics."

• "It is a brilliant performance. It says precisely the things which need most saying and says them with a rare courage and integrity. I know of no other modern book from which the intelligent layman can learn so much about the basic truths of economics in so short a time." F.A. Hayek, 1974 Nobel Laureate in Economics

Published in 1946, a world just recovering from depression and war, Economics in One Lesson was Hazlitt's "shot across the bow" of the many fallacies in economic thinking of his day. As you read his work, you'll discover that his perspicacity is just as relevant today.

Prepare to enter a new realm, one bristling with insight and revelation where economic principles are made plain - a rarity today when demagogue-politicians purposely cloud and corrupt these issues to gain advantage for themselves.

After reading Hazlitt, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times writer, acclaimed as "one of the few economists in human history who could really write," you'll finally understand what works in the world of economics.
