Here is a publishing event: the new Mises Institute edition of the classic book that has taught many millions sound economic thinking. It is a hardbound volume, priced very low thanks to special benefactors, and now available in quantity discounts for distribution to your friends, family, and anyone you meet who needs to understand what economics implies for the society, government, and civilization.
Henry Hazlitt wrote this book following his stint at the New York Times as an editorialist. His hope was to reduce the whole teaching of economics to a few principles and explain them in ways that people would never forget. It worked. He relied on some stories by Bastiat and his own impeccable capacity for logical thinking and crystal-clear prose.
He was writing under the influence of Mises himself, of course, but he brought his own special gifts to the project. As just one example, this is the book that made the idea of the "broken window fallacy" so famous.
What thrills us in particular about this new edition is that it is beautiful, it is hardcover, and it is newly typeset for modern readers. It has a full index. It includes a wonderful foreword by Walter Block. It's the right size, shape, and feel – perfect for making this book central to all educational efforts of the future.
This is the book to send to reporters, politicians, pastors, political activists, teachers, or anyone else who needs to know.
Professor Block explains that it was this book that turned him on to economics as a science. He believes that it is probably the most important economics book ever written in the sense that it offers the greatest hope to educating everyone about the meaning of the science.
Written for the non-academic, it has served as the major antidote to fallacies in the popular press, and has appeared in dozens of languages and printings. It's still the quickest way to learn how to think like an economist. And this is why it has been used in the best classrooms more than sixty years.
Many writers have since attempted to beat this book as an introduction, but have never succeeded. Hazlitt's book remains the best. Even if you own this book already, or have several past editions, you will want to have this book as your own as a wonderful testament to its place in the world of ideas.
In putting this edition together, we chose to work from Hazlitt's own first edition because it contains the core of what is crucial here without later updates that only date the book. As with Mises and Human Action, the author's first instincts were the best ones.
亨利‧赫茲利特(Henry Hazlitt)
美國20世紀最重要的經濟專欄作傢,《福布斯》雜誌總編輯斯蒂夫•福布斯尊稱他為“20世紀最傑齣的經濟新聞人”,當代“自由至上主義者”運動的重要參與者,奧地利經濟學派的重要成員。
他曾供職於《華爾街日報》、《紐約郵報》,後來又為《紐約時報》撰寫經濟方麵的文章。1946~1966年,他在《新聞周刊》開設固定專欄,撰寫經濟學普及文章,引導數百萬讀者瞭解經濟學基礎知識,傳播自由經濟理念,影響力極為深遠。
《一課經濟學》是他的第一本重要著作,這本書1946年一齣版即成為當時的暢銷書,至今已被翻譯成8種文字,在全球銷量早已突破百萬。他一生勤於寫作,撰寫瞭18本專著和無數的評論文章。其重要著作還有《道德的基礎》、《凱恩斯經濟學批判》等。
抛开对经济学的真知灼见不谈,本书里面的英文用法是我学习的重点之一,这里做一个简单回顾。Hazlitt的这本书在西方久盛不衰,离不开他语言的凝练和精彩。方便起见,我直接摘录了部分语句而没有提供上下文,如果看过此书的英文版可能大概明白出处在哪,没有的话希望你能原谅我的...
評分作为罗辑思维的会员,基于信任我买了这本《一课经济学》。但花费几天读完后我很难认同罗胖在节目中称赞的那样——最好的入门书。作者的这本书看来来更像是报刊专栏的合辑,这倒也符合作者的出身。书中满篇更像是充满偏见的新闻评论,虽然作者的见解很可能是对的,但是以...
評分这本书应该就是奥地利学派的科普性读物代表了。这本书的主要结论是市场自由经济是能达到帕累托最优的。而违背了市场自由经济原则的措施,则非帕累托最优,会损害市场参与者至少是某一方的福利。并且总福利并没有增加。 比如打烂窗来增加就业的行为,修这窗的钱本来可以用来做别...
評分这本古老的书(总觉得三四十年前写的经济学都算古老),读起来好像有针对性似的,基本上就是对政府干预经济的批驳。 作者认为市场是万能的,任何的危机,不用政府干预,交给市场去调节,得到的效果是最好的,当然,可能阵痛也更猛烈些。对一些以“公平”名义,对市场机制做的...
評分一个调皮的孩子打碎了商店的橱窗,让老板损失了250美元。邻居们宽慰他:这也好,这下就给修玻璃匠带来了250美元的生意,于是玻璃产业就得到了发展……如果这么想的话,打碎玻璃居然成了刺激经济发展的好事,而非一件过错,事实真的是如此吗? 这就是著名的“破窗理论”,或称...
賣的十分的廣。海茲利特也是與集體主義戰鬥瞭一生。
评分This is a book to let you know some famous but wrong opinions about economics. After reading this, something important will be clear for the readers.

评分Hazilitt被稱為“The People's Austrian”,把奧地利經濟學的思維和原理傳播給大眾,寫過很多暢銷書,有點像現在的Thomas Woods。這本是最有名的一本。分析問題時:看得見的和看不見的,局部的和整體的,這部分人的利益和那部分人的利益……這些思路對辨析經濟學疑問很有幫助。奧派入門推薦之二(之一是《第一本經濟學》)
评分就算是宏觀經濟也不能這樣全憑想象全靠推理。
