Henry Hazlitt Boeken

Hazlitt meticulously critiques Keynes's "General Theory," which transformed economic thought during the Great Depression by advocating for government intervention. He argues that Keynes's ideas undermine fundamental economic principles, claiming that they promote instability and challenge the concept of sound money. Through a detailed line-by-line analysis, Hazlitt exposes the flaws in Keynesian economics, providing a robust defense of conservative and libertarian principles. This comprehensive work serves as a powerful rebuttal, aiming to dismantle the prevailing Keynesian paradigm.

Hazlitt worked as a journalist for the New York Sun , The Nation , the New York Times , and Newsweek . He is credited with bringing Austrian economics to an English-speaking audience. Hazlitt was a prolific writer, authoring some 25 books in his lifetime.

Over a million copies sold! A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, this classic guide to the basics of economic theory defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. “A magnificent job of theoretical exposition.”—Ayn Rand 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 wrote Economics in One Lesson 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. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than fifty 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.
