Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics by Henry HazlittMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Before I say anything else, let me just state that I agree with just about all of the principles in this book. No arguments here.
Having said that, this book was boring. Like claw my eyes out boring. But I'm the one who picked up the book on economics, so that's on me. As for the book itself, it does give a brief treatise on the basics of economics, embracing classic conservative philosophies. What it didn't do was convince the reader of the correctness of this view point. It spoke down to dissenting opinions, and didn't step to the opponents side at all to address rebuttals. It wasn't great, although it was a fair refresher on economic principles that I slept through during my undergrad degree.
