<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>With over a million copies sold, <i>Economics in One Lesson</i> 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.</b> <p/> 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 <i>The Freeman</i> magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote <i>Economics in One Lesson</i>, 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. <p/> 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 <i>Economics in One Lesson</i>. 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 <i>Economics in One Lesson</i> every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A magnificent job of theoretical exposition.<br><b>--Ayn Rand</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist.
