Victor Claar's Economics Blog: Discussion Resources for Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson

… Our other book is the classic Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.  For those unfamiliar with Hazlitt, he was one of America's finest communicators of economic ideas during his prolific career as a journalist that included writing a regular column for Newsweek, as well as serving as a frequent reviewer for the prestigious New York Times Review of Books. If you have never read Economics in One Lesson, you should.  I can think of no other book that communicates the single greatest lesson of economics so succinctly and that also applies that single lesson to such a broad variety of topics so deftly.

Because we will be using Economics in One Lesson to stimulate discussion on a broad variety of both macro- micro-economic topics, I am putting together a collection of discussion questions linked to each of the book's chapters.  It turns out that a few other minds have already been at work on this topic, and have made the fruits of their efforts available on the web.  This present blog post, then, will serve as a road map for any readers who may be working at a similar task–putting together some discussion questions for Economics in One Lesson.  In the remainder of the post I will point to the resources I have already found.  If any of you know of others I may have omitted, I hope you will post a link to them in the comments section of this post. …
