Economics in One Lesson

"In this book a rigorous economic thinker offers a major lesson in economics. Its central thesis is that sound economic thinking takes account of the long-run no less than the short-run, the overall public interests as against special interests, and the secondary consequences as well as the primary consequences of economic policies and programs. The application of this general truth to programs of public works, taxes on production, make-work schemes, subsidies to special groups and wage legislation is clearly explained to the layman." - dust jacket. "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. Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993) was an American journalist who wrote about business and economics for such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Nation, The American Mercury, Newsweek, and The New York Times." - Wikipedia. Copyright page states 1946 above the letters A-W, suggesting a printing date of January 1947. Thus, this copy is an early reprint of the 1946 first edition. No further printing detail is provided on the book or dust jacket. Book clean, tight and unmarked with very light wear. Moderate wear to complete dust jacket now in archival-grade protection. A well-preserved example of this enduring classic. ; Sm 8vo
