Hazlitt was a remarkably lucid writer, and this short book is
justly regarded as a classic....But it comes across even better in
Jeff Riggenbach''s interpretation. Riggenbach has a knack for making
routine discursive sentences come alive...he could be a college
professor lecturing, the kind of lecturer who really can teach. He
sounds reasonable, engaging and thoroughly likeable.

內容簡介:
A million copy seller, Henry Hazlitt''s "Economics in One Lesson"
is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having
become a fundamental influence on modern "libertarian" economics of
the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Considered among the
leading economic thinkers of the "Austrian School," which includes
Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich F.A. Hayek, and others,
Henry Hazlitt 1894-1993, was a libertarian philosopher, an
economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of
the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of "The
Freeman" magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt
wrote "Economics in One Lesson," his seminal work, in 1946. Concise
and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching
in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so
prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Many current
economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited
Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which
occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of
"Economics in One Lesson." Hazlitt''s focus on non-governmental
solutions, strong -- and strongly reasoned -- anti-deficit
position, and 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 since publication.
