Biography
H
Henry Hazlitt (November 28, 1894 - July 8, 1993) was a Libertarianism|libertarian philosopher, economist and journalist for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Newsweek, among other publications. He was credited with bringing Austrian School|Austrian economics to an English-speaking audience. Hazlitt is well-known for his book Economics in One Lesson, but he also wrote other books, among which a major work on ethics, The Foundations of Morality, and The Failure of the New Economics, a detailed chapter-by-chapter critique of John Maynard Keynes|Keynes's "General Theory" (of which he wrote that he was "unable to find in it a single doctrine that is both true and original. What is original in the book is not true; and what is true is not original.") Hazlitt was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine. A well-known quote from Henry Hazlitt: "Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food." ==Bibliography== ===Books=== * Thinking as a Science, 1915 * The Way to Will Power, 1922 * A Practical Program for America, 1933 * The Anatomy of Criticism, 1933 * Instead of Dictatorship, 1933 * A New Constitution Now, 1942 * Freedom in America: The Freeman (with Virgil Jordon), 1945 * The Full Employment Bill: An Analysis, 1945 * http://www.fee.org/%7Eweb/Economics%20in%20One%20L esson/Economics%20In%20One%20Lesson.pdf Economics in One Lesson, 1946 * Will Dollars Save the World?, 1947 * Forum: Do Current Events Indicate Greater Government Regulation, Nationalization, or Socialization?, Proceedings from a Conference Sponsored by The Economic and Business Foundation, 1948 * The Illusions of Point Four, 1950 * The Great Idea, 1951 * The Free Man's Library, 1956 * The Failure of the 'New Economics': An Analysis of the Keynesian Fallacies, 1959 * The Critics of Keynesian Economics (ed.), 1960 * What You Should Know About Inflation, 1960 * The Foundations of Morality, 1964 * Man vs. The Welfare State, 1969 * The Conquest of Poverty, 1973 * To Stop Inflation, Return to Gold, 1974 * The Inflation Crisis and How to Resolve It, 1978 * From Bretton Woods to World Inflation, 1984 * The Wisdom of the Stoics: Selections from Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, 1984 * The Wisdom of Henry Hazlitt, 1993 ===Articles=== See http://www.mises.org/hazlitt/hazlittbib.asp Bibliography of Henry Hazlitt for complete list. ==External links== *The http://www.mises.org Ludwig von Mises Institute has re-published three books by Hazlitt. *http://dmoz.org/Science/Social_Sciences/Economics /Schools_of_Thought/Austrian_School/People/Hazlitt ,_Henry/ Directory from the Open Directory Project
