About this book
Henry Hazlitt's 1946 classic distills economics to a single lesson: judge any policy by its long-term effects on all groups, not just its immediate effect on one. Building on Bastiat's parable of the unseen, he dismantles common economic fallacies—around tariffs, price controls, minimum wages, and public spending—and makes a concise case for free markets. A foundational influence on modern libertarian thought.
