The shortest and surest way to understand basic economics. Concise and instructive, Hazlitt's prescient text dissembles economic fallacies that have become so prevalent they are almost a new orthodoxy. His focus on nongovernmental solutions, his strongly reasoned antideficit position, and his general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been for decades.
