Economics in One Lesson

Ok, first off, Dan says I should really credit my brother-in-law, Darrell, for bringing into our house some thought provoking testimony (see last post). So, thank you Darrell!

Next, you may be interested in chapter 4 of this book, Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. This was originally published in 1946, and not much has changed. Chapter 4 is great! http://www.fee.org/library/books/economics.asp#4 is the link. It's titled, "Public Works Mean Taxes." It'll help you form a whole new look at the jobs and products that could have been created if the government hadn't intervened first. Think, "Iowa Rainforest" for example. Whew, good thing that died.

Happy Reading!
