    "A Must Read For All"

    If you have the slightest itch to learn about economics, this is where you should start. Goes over all the basics you knew about and more. It is easy to comprehend for all readers. I would recommend this book to anyone. I actually got the recommendation from Mike Rowe.

    "So Simple So Easily Misunderstood"

    Although the delivery was a bit dry, it's an economics book so what did I think was gong to happen?, the content was easy to understand and follow. The examples couldn't have been broken down any better to validate points.

    Really breaks down economics to its core and does a great job explaining issues with moving away from those principles.

    One thing I feel like the author did not address deep enough are the affects of the money hoarder, greed or the lifestyle welfare recipients have on an economic system when thru are no longer marginal outliers.

    "Outdated Libertarian ideology"

    Written after the Great Depression, updated during the '70's stagflation era. Stale at best.

    "Still great"

    Touches on many of the key issues of economics in a concise manner. A great into into Austrian economics. Such a great pity the lesson seems so far from learnt today

    "Not a review on economics"

    It has been 20 years since I graduated college, and was looking for an easy review on economics. This is not a review on economics, it is the authors manifesto on free market.

    Hazlitt does a good job defending a free market system. I gave the book 2 stars because the title and reviews made the book look like something it is not. However, it still would not have gotten 4 or 5 stars.

    If you want a book the defends the free market, I would buy Milton Freedman's book, Free to Choose first. Freedman is well knows in the academic world and would be considered a scholarly source. This book is fine if you are looking for shallow bar room trivia knowledge.

    "Annoyingly one sided on most points."

    Every point made in this book seem to come from a anti labor anti government positions. With that, I still tried to finish the book but the robotic narration prevented me from finishing it.
