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

3.0

A very good overview of basic economic concepts and how things like price fixing, tariffs, printing money, rent control, and minimum wage increases may help a niche group of people in the short term but harms everyone in the long term. This is due to a decrease in efficiency and sometimes a direct destruction of wealth. Very similar to Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell but with less references to the polarizing narrative of political groups. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants a better grasp of government policies' effect on the economy or someone who just needs a refresher on the concepts.
