Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental principles of economic theory. With over one million copies sold, this influential book by Henry Hazlitt has become a cornerstone of modern economic education. As a prominent figure of the Austrian School of economics alongside greats like Ludwig von Mises and F.A. Hayek, Hazlitt delves deep into the myths surrounding capitalism and the free market, presenting clear arguments that defend economic liberty.
Published in 1946, this impactful work remains as crucial today as it was at its inception.

His warnings about the dangers of deficit spending and the need for sound economic practices have proven remarkably prescient, especially as observers point to the eventuality of global economic downturns. Whether you're a seasoned economist or a curious newcomer, Economics in One Lesson will illuminate your understanding of the economy's inner workings.

Description:
With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lessonis 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 Lessonevery bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.
