by Henry Hazlitt (Author)



Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile
Here is a case in which the spoken-word leads to better memory retention
than the written version did–for this reviewer, anyway. Hazlitt was a
remarkably lucid writer, and this short book is justly regarded as a
classic introduction to the dismal science of economics. But it comes
across even better in Jeff Riggenbach's interpretation. Riggenbach has a
knack for making routine discursive sentences come alive. It's not that
he's effusive or histrionic, but that his presentation suits the material;
he could be a college professor lecturing, the kind of lecturer who really
can teach. He sounds reasonable, engaging and thoroughly likeable.

Book Description
A simple, straightforward analysis of economic fallacies that are so
prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy.
