Bogen Økonomi i En Lektion, som er en dansk oversættelse af den internationale bestseller, Economics in One Lesson. Med over en million solgte eksemplarer er Økonomi i En Lektion en vigtig guide til det grundlæggende i økonomisk teori. Bogen er en international bestseller og er stadig den hurtigste måde at lære, hvordan man tænker som økonom. Bogen er skrevet i et meget let læseligt sprog, som gør det enkelt at forstå grundlæggende økonomiske teorier, og den anvendes derfor stadig bredt som lærebog blandt universitetsstuderende i hele verden. Bogen regnes blandt de absolut mest populære indenfor økonomisk teori, nogensinde skrevet. Økonomiske kommentatorer på tværs af det politiske spektrum har senest krediteret Hazlitt for at forudse sammenbruddet af den globale økonomi, som fandt sted mere end 50 år efter den første udgivelse af Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitts fokus på ikke-statslige løsninger og hans generelle vægt på frie markeder, individers økonomiske frihed og farerne ved statslig indgriben gør Økonomi i En Lektion lige så relevant og værdifuld i dag, som den har været siden udgivelsen. Bogen indgår i serien fra Paludans forlag som klassiske 5 stjernede bestsellere for ledelse, som ligeledes tæller: Vind venner, indflydelse og fremgang af Dale Carnegie, Peter Plys om ledelse af Roger E. Allen og En sælgers vej til Succes af Frank Bettger

Henry Hazlitt did the seemingly impossible, something that was and is a magnificent service to all people everywhere. He wrote a line-by-line commentary and refutation of what he considered to be one of the most destructive, fallacious, and convoluted books of the century. The target here is John Maynard Keynes's "General Theory," the book that appeared in 1936 and swept all before it. In economic science, Keynes changed everything. He supposedly demonstrated that prices don't work, that private investment is unstable, that sound money is intolerable, and that government was needed to shore up the system and save it. It was simply astonishing how economists the world over put up with this, but it happened. He converted a whole generation in the late period of the Great Depression. By the 1950s, almost everyone was Keynesian. But Hazlitt, the nation's economics teacher, would have none of it. And he did the hard work of actually going through the book to evaluate its logic according to sound conservative and libertarian logical reasoning. The result: a nearly 500-page masterpiece of exposition. With this book The Failure of the New Economics we have a perfect analysis of Keynesian economics that "destroys the whole Keynesian theory".

Will-Power, then, may be defined as the ability to keep a remote desire so vividly in mind that immediate desires which interfere with it are not gratified.""As long as we keep in the backgrounds of our minds that the will is really an abstraction, there is no harm in speaking of it a good part of the time as if it were an entity; and insofar as it can be said to represent a definite and permanent entity, the will may be defined as our desire to be a certain kind of character.""It is not the 'conscience' in itself, nor the 'evil' desires, that ultimately count; it is the relation of the one to the other. The stronger his conscience, or counter-desires, must be; the weaker his desires, the less need he has for a strong conscience."

The lion and the man are facing each other; the man upstanding, hands clenched, his look defiant and terrible; the lion crouching. Who will win? The man, without doubt. He has what the beast lacks, Will-Power. And at the bottom of the page is the triangular clipping which you cut out and send for the book on how to acquire it. Or perhaps the advertisement promises you a $10,000 a year position. Nothing less than $10,000 a year seems capable of attracting the present-day reader of twenty-cent magazines. And those positions, one learns, are reserved for the men of Will-Power (not forgetting the capitals). The advertisements betray bizarre ideas about the will and will-power. Any one who has the remotest notion of psychology might be led from them to suspect the advertised course. But the advertisements reflect not alone the advertiser's ideas, but the ideas of the plain man. they are written to catch the plain man's eye, and they do catch his eye, else how account for their persistence, their enlargement, and their multiplication, notwithstanding the notorious expensiveness of advertising? Now I am about to reveal a profound secret about the will. The revelation will cause a good deal of shock and disappointment and a bedlam of protest. However, I derive courage to meet the protest because I have an imposing body of psychologic opinion behind me. I have behind me most of the reputable pscyhologic opinion since Herbert Spencer. And so here it is: The will does not exist. I repeat it, lest you fancy there has been a misprint. There is no such thing as the will. Nor such a thing as will-power. These are merely convenient words. Now when a man denies the existence of the will he is on dangerous ground. It is as if he were to deny the existence of the tomato. Yet I do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
