Customer ReviewsHenry Hazlitt is an Economics Messanger, is anyone listening?
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Economics in one lesson is particularly cogent for today, Dec. 2008, with the backdrop of the financial catastrophe hitting the United States as well as other parts of the world. Hazlitt doesnt pull any punches in denouncing government intervention in the market and in denouncing those who believe the immoral philosophy of "stealing the fruit of Peters labor and delivering it to Paul." I would go so far as to say that Hazlitt more of less supports my long held belief that Regulated Freedom is Oxymoronic. I have no doubt Hazlitt would have supported "OROs" (GoldDigest) distillation of Robert Triffins Economics with his statement of Triffins Dilemma: "Industry is Destroyed at the Source of Money Creation." Hazlitt wrote the truth about economic reality which is why his book will always be applicable. Hazlitt doesnt say it in this book but I believe he would have agreeed that a system of fiat currency or debt money is a lootocracy and cannot come to a good end. I am indebted to Hazlitt for this excellent message of truth.
A great alternative perspective
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Particularly appropriate for these times (even many decades after it was written), Hazlitts Economics in One Lesson offers an alternative to the traditional Keynesian economic theory of the 20th Century. This book is a fairly easy read for non-economists and, though a bit repetitive towards the end, quite enlightening. Id recommend this book strongly for any student of macro economics or anyone curious in what is happening to the global economy.
Essential Reading
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
This is concise, essential perspective for the current financial season, and enduring perspective on economic principles that will always be timely.
Great Book for Students!

I first heard about this book on "Pro Business With Dr. Mike Beitler," an internet-radio show about free-market capitalism. Hazlitt does not write like an ivory-tower academic his work is easy to understand and a pleasure to read.
Read this along with Beitlers "Rational Individualism" book Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government & Capitalism.

Great explanation of economic laws
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This book, even if it may seem outdated based on the copyright date, relates to todays times. It explains "real" economics and how one should look at it compared to what we are taught in school. It should be a REQUIRED READING in high school as well as to all current and potential politicians.
