Synopsis

Henry Hazlitt confronted the rise of Keynesianism in his day and put together an intellectual arsenal: the most brilliant economists of the time showing what is wrong with the system, in great detail with great rigor. With excerpts from books and articles published between the 30s and 50s, it remains the most powerful anti-Keynesian collection ever assembled.

About this title

Review

Mr. Hazlitt has dug deep to unearth long-forgotten or even unknown criticisms of Keynes, published over the years since the General Theory appeared in 1936....Hazlitt also earns our gratitude by including the long out-of-print presentations of Say's Law of Markets by J.B. Say and John Stuart Mill; for these nineteenth-century demonstrations that there can be no such thing as general 'overproduction' or 'underconsumption' on a free market are as fresh and valid today as they were a century and a half ago. The Sisyphean feat of Hazlitt and the other authors in pulverizing and clearing away the Keynesian rubble opens the way for a return to Say's Law and to those economists, like Lugwig von Mises, who have brilliantly built upon that law as a solidfoundation.> (Murray N. Rothbard In National Review)
