Economics in One Lesson

Henry Hazlitt

“Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt is a classic economic primer for laymen, and an easy-to-read libertarian guide to the basics of economic theory. Its core idea – that the art of economics consists in looking at the long-term effects of any act or policy – is articulated in the first chapter, with the remainder of the book exploring this idea through a range of failed government policies.
