Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics by Henry Hazlitt

3.0

The book is well written - short and concise, however, I found title completely misleading. It is not a book of economics, rather one-sided view of a particular view of the economy - Free Market. In short, it states that all of the problems will be solved by the market itself and with this in mind, government actions usually just make it worse. One can agree or disagree with this but what I particularly didn't like is that most of the arguments are based on questionable (weak) premises and gross oversimplification, not to mention that any other idea is dismissed (also mocked) as not right without any proper argumentation.

Give it a go if you are looking for a one-sided view on economics based on Austrian School.
