re: EBC Book #1 - Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

Glad you're enjoying it. You've reminded me of two more bits I want to point out. Here's the Mises Institute on how influential this book actually is:

quote:

---

This is the book to send to reporters, politicians, pastors, political activists, teachers, or anyone else who needs to know. It is probably the most important economics book ever written in the sense that it offers the greatest hope to educating everyone about the meaning of the science.

Many writers have attempted to beat this book as an introduction, but have never succeeded. Hazlitt's book remains the best. It's still the quickest way to learn how to think like an economist. And this is why it has been used in the best classrooms for more than sixty years.

And here's a paraphrase of Hazlitt's stated intention for writing the book:

quote:

---

His hope was to reduce the whole teaching of economics to a few principles and explain them in ways that people would never forget.
