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.
想要多读点经济学的人,接下来应该找几本中等篇幅和难度适中的专业著作来看。据我所知,目前还没有哪本书能完全满足这种要求,但是有几本书,加起来效果不错。
Faustino Ballve "Essentials of Economics,Irvington-on-Hudson,N.Y Foundation for Economic Education" 126pages
Percy L. Greaves "Understanding the Dollar Crisis, Belmont, Mass." Western Islands, 1973, 327pages 主题类似但篇幅较长。
"Free Market Economics, Foundation for Economic Education" by Bettina Bien Greeves
想要深入了解经济学的读者,如果已经具备了一定理解能力,接下来应该看"Human Action, Chicago:Contemporary Books"1949,1966; 907pages
这本书的逻辑单一性和经济学的精确度,超越了以前所有的经济学著作。“人的行为”出版十三年后,米塞斯的学生罗斯巴德(Murray N. Rothbard) 写了两册的"人,经济与国家“(Man, Economy, and State, MIssion, Kan" 987pages 这本书中有不少新东西,有不少作者透彻的见解;其叙述简单明了;其结构安排在某些方面比米塞斯的居住更适合作为教科书。
未完。

Hazlitt很诚恳,时时不忘提醒自己和读者:this is an introduction book for general economics. 很多我们(中国人)司空见惯的政府对经济操控的事实和做法仔细分析看来都是short sighted fallacies.
