“本书以浅显易懂的文字取代高深的经济学术语与方程式，清楚地阐析了经济学经过半世纪以上之试炼，去芜存菁了的经济学概念，值得推荐。”——吴荣义，新台湾国策智库董事长、前行政院副院长

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.Economics in One Lesson《一课经济学》作者赫兹利特──堪称二十世纪美国伟大的经济专栏作家，教给我们经济学重要的一课：

“经济学的艺术就是：不只观察任何行动或政策的立即影响，更要看较长远的影响；不只追踪政策对某个群体产生的影响，更要看对所有群体造成的影响。”
然而就在这一点上，人们，甚至是政府，常常犯错，或者明知故犯。好经济学和坏经济学的分野就在这里。坏经济学家只看到触目所及的事情；好经济学家却看得更远。坏经济学家只观察计划中的行动产生的直接结果；好经济学家却也放眼更长远的间接结果。坏经济学家只注意政策对某个特殊群体已经产生或将要产生的影响；好经济学家还会去深究政策对所有群体产生的影响。
以这一堂课为基础，作者举了许多日常可见的实际例子，例如公共建设、课税、授信、失业、关税、较低工资、价格管制、工会、工资、利润、储蓄、通货膨胀等等，以浅显的方式告诉读者，这些复杂的经济问题背后的真相、什么样的经济政策会造成什么样的结果，以及，真正学会这一课经济学。
经济事务影响我们每一个人，本书可以帮助你更了解经济世界运作的法则。
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 wroteEconomics 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 ofEconomics 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 makeEconomics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.亨利·赫兹利特（Henry Hazlitt），美国20世纪重要的经济专栏作家，《福布斯》杂志总编辑斯蒂夫·福布斯尊称他为“20世纪杰出的经济新闻人”，当代“自由至上主义者”运动的重要参与者，奥地利经济学派的重要成员。

他曾供职于《华尔街日报》《纽约邮报》，后来又为《纽约时报》撰写经济方面的文章。1946~1966年，他在《新闻周刊》开设固定专栏，撰写经济学普及文章，引导数百万读者了解经济学基础知识，传播自由经济理念，影响力极为深远。
《一课经济学》是他的第1本重要著作，这本书1946年一出版即成为当时的畅销书，至今已被翻译成8种文字，在全球销量早已突破百万。他一生勤于写作，撰写了18本专著和无数的评论文章。其重要著作还有《道德的基础》《凯恩斯经济学批判》等。

His work has influenced the likes of economist Ludwig von Mises, novelist and essayist Ayn Rand, and 2008 Libertarian Party Presidential nominee and congressman, Ron Paul. Hazlitt has been cited as one of the most influential literary critics and economic writers of his time.PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION 新版序

A NOTE ON BOOKS注释
INDEX索引ECONOMICS is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in, say, physics, mathematics or medicine—the special pleading of selfish interests. While every group has certain economic interests identical with those of all groups, every group has also, as we shall see, interests antagonistic to those of all other groups. While certain public policies would in the long run benefit everybody, other policies would benefit one group only at the expense of all other groups. The group that would benefit by such policies, having such a direct interest in them, will argue for them plausibly and persistently. It will hire the best buyable minds to devote their whole time to presenting its case. And it will finally either convince the general public that its case is sound, or so befuddle it that clear thinking on the subject becomes next to impossible.

In addition to these endless pleadings of self-interest, there is a second main factor that spawns new economic fallacies every day. This is the persistent tendency of men to see only the immediate effects of a given policy, or its effects only on a special group, and to neglect to inquire what the long-run effects of that policy will be not only on that special group but on all groups. It is the fallacy of overlooking secondary consequences.
In this lies almost the whole difference between good economics and bad. The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups.
The distinction may seem obvious. The precaution of looking for all the consequences of a given policy to everyone may seem elementary. Doesn’t everybody know, in his personal life, that there are all sorts of indulgences delightful at the moment but disastrous in the end? Doesn’t every little boy know that if he eats enough candy he will get sick? Doesn’t the fellow who gets drunk know that he will wake up next morning with a ghastly stomach and a horrible head? Doesn’t the dipsomaniac know that he is ruining his liver and shortening his life? Doesn’t the Don Juan know that he is letting himself in for every sort of risk, from blackmail to disease? Finally, to bring it to the economic though still personal realm, do not the idler and the spendthrift know, even in the midst of their glorious fling, that they are heading for a future of debt and poverty?
