The Economics of Illusion is a critical analysis of contemporary economic theory and policy, written by Ludwig Albert Hahn. The book challenges the traditional economic assumptions and models that have dominated the field for decades, arguing that they are flawed and misleading. Hahn argues that the current economic paradigm is built on a set of illusions that have been perpetuated by policymakers and economists alike. He argues that these illusions have led to misguided policies and harmful economic outcomes, such as rising inequality, financial instability, and environmental degradation. The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides a critique of neoclassical economics, which Hahn argues is fundamentally flawed in its assumptions about human behavior, markets, and equilibrium. The second section examines alternative economic theories, including institutional economics, behavioral economics, and post-Keynesian economics. Hahn argues that these alternative theories offer more realistic and nuanced models of economic behavior and outcomes. The final section of the book focuses on economic policy, arguing that current policies are driven by the illusions of neoclassical economics and are failing to address the real economic challenges of our time. Hahn proposes a set of alternative policies that are grounded in the insights of institutional and behavioral economics, including policies to promote greater economic democracy, reduce inequality, and address environmental challenges. Overall, The Economics of Illusion is a provocative and insightful critique of contemporary economic theory and policy. It challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about economics and to consider alternative models that better reflect the complexities of the real world.

LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com Long before Charles Murray took on the topic, Henry Hazlitt wrote an outstanding book on poverty that not only provided an empirical examination of the problem but also presented a rigorous theory for understanding the relationship between poverty and income growth. He examines poverty in the ancient world, the poor laws of England, the advance of the middle class in the United States, the failure of welfare programs, the fallacies associated with income redistribution, and the relationship between population and poverty. Its 20 chapters are outstanding essays that make for a well-integrated text on the topic, one which holds up as prophetic in every way, having foreshadowing welfare reform but also pointing the way toward even more radical reforms. The way out of poverty, he explains, is freedom, and freedom alone.

LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com Here is Hazlitt's major philosophical work, in which he grounds a policy of private property and free markets in an ethic of classical utilitarianism, understood in the way Mises understood that term. In writing this book, Hazlitt is reviving an 18th and 19th century tradition in which economists wrote not only about strictly economic issues but also on the relationship between economics and the good of society in general. Adam Smith wrote a moral treatise because he knew that many objections to markets are rooted in these concerns. Hazlitt takes up the cause too, and with spectacular results. Hazlitt favors an ethic that seeks the long run general happiness and flourishing of all. Action, institutions, rules, principles, customs, ideals, and all the rest stand or fall according to the test of whether they permit people to live together peaceably to their mutual advantage. Critical here is an understanding of the core classical liberal claim that the interests of the individual and that of society in general are not antagonistic but wholly compatible and co-determinous. In pushing for "rules-utilitarianism," Hazlitt is aware that he is adopting an ethic that is largely rejected in our time, even by the bulk of the liberal tradition. But he makes the strongest case possible, and you will certainly be challenged at every turn.

With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the "Austrian School," which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F. A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt's focus on non-governmental solutions, strong -- and strongly reasoned -- anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.
