As dollar bills were lit on fire and thrown into the night skies, it became clear that the real problem, one that nobody in the media was talking about, was the central bank-an unconstitutional entity and a political, economic, and moral disaster.

Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency but our very freedom.

Publisher's Summary
Called by H.L. Mencken, "one of the few economists in history who could really write," Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for his brilliant but concise work. In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions, and minimum wage laws. And, he writes about key classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Herbert Spencer.
Critic Reviews
"If there were a Nobel Prize for clear economic thinking, Mr. Hazlitt's book would be a worthy recipient...like a surgeon's scalpel, it cuts through...much nonsense that has been written in recent years about our economic ailments." (J.W. Hanes, former Undersecretary of the Treasury)

Should be required reading in every school.
As Hazlitt states, economists must simply throw up their hands trying to teach anyone when the bulk of the population has not even progressed an understanding of what Adam Smith wrote in the 17th century. Reading this book should be required prior to any citizen of any country being allowed to vote. This book, along with "Innumeracy" by John Allen Paulos, are the first two I read that have led me on a journey of voracious non-fiction reading to learn more about the myths I've been told and convinced to believe. From there to Sowell and Friedman, and beyond, economics informs (well, ... should inform) politics the way mathematics informs physics.

What other book might you compare Economics in One Lesson to and why?
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is equally brilliant.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Economics in One Lesson?
This book is all you need to know about economics and nothing you don't.
Any additional comments?
This is the best primer on economics ever. If you know nothing about economics you must listen to this book. This book explains how the economy actually works. It is as timely today as it was 30, 40 or 50 years ago.

New to Economics? Start here!
This book is a wonderful introduction to Economics for those (like myself) unfamiliar with the field. The author clearly and logically illustrates economic principles by examining what he takes to be the major economic fallacy of modern times: That all public spending and intervention is only good, and has no secondary consequences.
Mr. Hazlett sets out his one lesson in the first 20 minutes, and then uses the rest of his effort to illustrate using easily understood examples and actual scenarios. This contact with reality is refreshing for those wearied by the large amount of theoretical illustrations employed by other economists.
Although his views will be out of favour with many North Americans and their increasing devotion to government spending & protectionism, Hazlett presents a surprisingly balanced case for his one lesson.
As the examples unfold, we are reminded that unions are NOT always bad, government spending is NOT always bad, we DO need to consider those who have lost work due to large scale shifts in the workplace due to technology.
The one lesson comes back to it's origin: There are consequences to our actions.
We are encouraged to consider those consequences, think first, and then act. This is a bad thing?

Guide to Conservative Economics
While this book has a hugely conservative bent and doesn't take into account the value of any other economic ideas. It is a very good overview of the major arguments with which macro-economists work. It is quite insightful in some of its analogies and comparisons, and sure to be mind-expanding for those unfamiliar with economics.

The truth about Economics
This book is excellent as it takes the myths that people have about economics and gives instruction on the falsehoods of those statements. Myths people have such as "War is good for the economy" etc. are expertly handled. This book was written some time ago and stands the test of time. These principles ring true years later. If you want to continue to believe that you can get something for nothing or that through higher taxes and more government spending you will have a greater society then don't buy this book. If you want to understand the truth of economics then look no further.

Some of the principles in this book are outdated
Ever since 1948 when this book was originally written many of the principles put forth here have proven invalid, especially at the international level. The author, being an open market economy purist, opposes import/export control measures such as: import tariffs, export incentives,... Experience has proven that without the imposition of import tariffs some segments of the American economy (e.g.: steel industry) were being seriously threatened by some foreign countries (e.g.: China) by means of their governments subsidization and price manipulation.
Furthermore, the author argues that if country A does not import from country B, country B will not be able to import from country A, because B won’t have A’s currency to purchase A’s goods. On the contrary, in this day and age it’s more common for countries to use stable currencies such as U.S. Dollar and Euro for international trade rather than other countries’ local currencies.

Refresher
What did you love best about Economics in One Lesson?
This is a great refresher of basic economic principals. It takes the tact of refuting economic fallacies proffered by politicians pandering to various special interests and the broad voting class with little or no understanding of economics. While the book is somewhat dated in context having been rewritten in the late 1970s, the principals are intact. In fact, there are frightening correlations for our current state and many statements that foreshadow turmoil we have since encountered.
Economics should be taught in every high school and probably required before we receive the right to vote.

Sensible economics
This book provides an elementary lesson in Economics. It's a plea for free market economics and only for government to intervene when it's absolutely necessary. It shows up economic fallacies like trying control prices, rent controls, subsidizing farmers, unions and protectionist activities and lots of other things. This book really made me think and change some of my views.

Old but insightful
This book gives good basic understanding on how economy works. Even though the book is old it's message is mostly still very valid. Most of the concepts and lessons hold true. You can even try to think more recent events and examples of things described. The topic is very simplified for obvious reasons, but be prepared since you don't find any notions on how ethical something is, or how quality of things matters, everything is just price and volume.
The book is America centered. So not all things about unions and legislations make a lot of sense, but they are interesting to hear nonetheless.
Where the age shows most are the parts where work is described only as hours spent. Everything was very much manual labour back then and it shows. Also the part about foreign trade is dated. Taxes are described as the only source of income for country, but think of any oil nation and you realize that strong export is more and more important. Most nations have companies that make profit etc...
So. There are parts that would desperately need an update, but still this is a good book and makes hard topic relatively easy to understand.

Great book with a lot of common sense. You'll learn how the real world works instead of how the media, government, central banks paint it.

Very Informative!
As an economics newbie I was really impressed with the brevity yet wide range of topics that this book goes into. The he book was constantly bringing you back to some very key fundamentals and as this is economics in one lesson I think it accomplished the task of giving the reader a solid grounding and also in many cases, sharing what economics it is not.
By the end of the book, I started to realise that perhaps there would be a number of economists out there who would present an opposing view.
So perhaps the next steps for me, beyond looking further into some of the details presented, is to also look into some of the alternative viewpoints in the areas raised.
That said, I highly recommend this book, I enjoyed it and while I imagine some will not like the narrator's to his voice, it's quite apt for the topic.

Best Economic Book Ever Written
So I teach students economic & finance & the very first book they read in my class is Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson. It is a basic, but sound understanding of economics not just from an Austrian perspective but economics in general.
Politicians can always be guaranteed to adopt the wrong economic policies, but any good investor would be wise to read Hazlitt’s work & that of the Austrian school to understand the mistakes & consequences of government policies & to profit from these mistakes.
If you’re interested in business, finance, economics or investing, do yourselves a favour & read this book.
I promise you won’t regret it.
