Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics
Date undefinedI first heard about this book on "Pro Business With Dr. Mike Beitler," an internet-radio show about free-market capitalism. Hazlitt does not write like an ivory-tower academic; his work is easy to understand and a pleasure to read.
Read this along with Beitler's "Rational Individualism" book Rational Individualism: A Moral Argument for Limited Government & Capitalism.

Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics
Date undefinedThis book, even if it may seem outdated based on the copyright date, relates to today's times. It explains "real" economics and how one should look at it compared to what we are taught in school. It should be a REQUIRED READING in high school as well as to all current and potential politicians.
Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics
Date undefinedParticularly appropriate for these times (even many decades after it was written), Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson offers an alternative to the traditional Keynesian economic theory of the 20th Century. This book is a fairly easy read for non-economists and, though a bit repetitive towards the end, quite enlightening. I'd recommend this book strongly for any student of macro economics or anyone curious in what is happening to the global economy.
