Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Thomas Sowell “both surprises and overturns received wisdom” in this indispensable examination of widespread economic fallacies (The Economist) Economic Facts and Fallacies exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues-and does so in a lively manner and without requiring any prior knowledge of economics by the reader. These include many beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians, such as mistaken ideas about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, as well as economics fallacies about academia, about race, and about Third World countries. One of the themes of Economic Facts and Fallacies is that fallacies are not simply crazy ideas but in fact have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying power-and makes careful examination of their flaws both necessary and important, as well as sometimes humorous. Written in the easy-to-follow style of the author's Basic Economics, this latest book is able to go into greater depth, with real world examples, on specific issues.
Economics in One Lesson
Author: Henry HazlittPublisher: Crown Currency
ISBN: 0307760626
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. 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. 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Economic and Fiscal Facts and Fallacies The primary object in publishing this work is to present, in a more connected form, the views which I have advanced c5from time to time in various books, pamphlets, speeches, and letters to the public journals, on economic and fiscal questions, during a period extending over more than a quarter of a century. Another object is to expose the manner in which the followers of the 'Manchester School' of economics have misused and misapplied the valuable truths of political 5 economy; to protest against the elevation of their fiscal tenets to a species of religion, the doctrines of which are not even to be questioned; and to dispute their extravagant claims to infallibihty, indicated by such expressions as Free Trade, the International Law of the Almighty (Cobden); The economic conditions under= which we live and move and have our being (Asquith); or I The eternal truths of the Economic Law (Birrell). Those who question these sacred doctrines are treated with scant courtesy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
