Called by H.L. Mencken, "one of the few
economists in history who could really write, " Henry Hazlitt
achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work. In it,
he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies
responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes and recession.
Coveting 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 Smart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville and Herbert
Spencer.
