Economics in One Lesson -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
The "One Lesson" is stated in part one of the book: "the art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.
" Part two consists of 25 chapters, each demonstrating the lesson by tracing the effects of one common economic belief, and showing it to be a fallacy.

 Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
Yet, Hazlitt's ECONOMICS IN ONE LESSON is truly a classic of economic literature.

 Economics in One Page
In fact, one professor even suggested to me that economics can be reduced to one word: "price." Or maybe, I suggested alternatively, "cost." Everything has a price; everything has a cost.
Additionally, sound economic policy is straightforward: Let the market, not the state, set wages and prices.

Lesson four is that the site doesn't even provide accurate information, leading to the thought that perhaps the State lies to us at times.
Lesson five is a quite glorious exposition of the idea of crowding out.
Set that cost against the lessons learned, that State action is expensive, slow, inefficient, cannot be relied upon to actually achieve the tasks it sets itself, usually ends in you being told lies and in the process crowds out private companies doing a better job.

It displays the fundamental fallacies of controlled economics, which always misses the secondary and future consequences for the short term gain that may be incurred.

It is the process of transforming primitive social capitalism, which involves economic units of villages and families -- who do the same thing repeatedly and are certain of it, into modern western capitalism which involves economic units of families and individuals -- who do different things all the time, and are uncertain of everything.

 The Intellectual Activist
In his classic 1946 book Economics in One Lesson—an amazingly clear and eye-opening introduction to free-market economics—Henry Hazlitt described the "one lesson" required for good economics.
"The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effect of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups." The basic message: think long-term.
Instead, they are followers of his more famous contemporary, John Maynard Keynes, whose philosophy was expressed in his famous quip that, "In the long run, we'll all be dead." Based on such shallow wisdom, today's economists feel free to ignore anything but the shortest of short-term consequences.
