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

5.0

Mandatory reading! The book teaches a few basic lessons: there is no such thing as a free lunch, there are two sides to every coin, and always consider long term consequences. It then uses fiscal policies to demonstrate why these lessons are important. Mostly this is by showing that things like inflation, minimum wages and tariffs are, on the whole, bad, especially when used excessively. I don't think politicians have learned to much since the book was published. Sad!
