Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

If there was one book that had to serve as introduction to free market economics, it would be Economics in One Lesson. Written in 1946, the work was heavily influenced by Frédéric Bastiat’s The Law and an essay titled “What is Seen and What is Not Seen.” The book lays out a case for free economic interaction and dispels popular economics myths about war and disaster stimulating the economy. Hazlitt teaches it is not only what is seen that must be considered, but the unseen costs and effects.

“The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.”
