This book is a must-read for anyone interested in making sense of the political-economic environment. Hazlitt's teachings are timeless. I venture to say that at any point in time since people began to transact with each other one would be able to find examples of the economic truths illustrated in this book.
He is one of the most easy-to-read writers on economic theory in history. And not only is his clarity world-class, his logic is unrelenting - almost dizzying. The mind of a mere mortal, as it follows the trail that the writer is blazing, is often naturally enticed down rabbit trails that lead to fallacious conclusions. However, Hazlitt always brings the reader back to the straight and narrow - even at the expense of whiplash.
