Economics in One Less, by Henry Hazlitt. Copyright 1946. Hardback. 222 pages.
If you are going to read only one book on economics, this is the one. It is an examination of economic fallacies. Unfortunately, these are economic fallacies you still hear falling from the mouths of tax and spend politicians, and even from the news media. It is amazing to me that a book written over fifty years ago can still make so many useful points. The essay called "The Broken Window" is worth the cost of the book in itself. Read this book and you will be well armed, indeed.
