Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

5.0

This book smacks down Keynesian economics with good ol' Austrian economics.

Highlights (these are from memory so they may not be verbatim):

"Inflation is the opiate of the masses" (LOVE the shoutout to Marx!)

"Inflation is taxation of the most regressive kind."

"The art of economics is not just seeing the immediate but the long term effects of any act or policy. You must trace the consequences of that policy not only for one group but for every group."

I love the chapters on inflation, unions, free trade, tariffs, rent control... Heck, I loved every chapter.
