Scarce.The correct first printing of financial journalist and author Henry Hazlitt's thorough refutation of Keynes's General Theory. The libertarian institution Mises Institute writes of the book, "Henry Hazlitt did the seemingly impossible, something that was and is a magnificent service to all people everywhere. He wrote a line-by-line commentary and refutation of one of the most destructive, fallacious, and convoluted books of the century. [.] In economic science, Keynes changed everything. [.] But Hazlitt, the nation's economics teacher, would have none of it. And he did the hard work of actually going through the book to evaluate its logic according to Austrian-style logical reasoning. The result: a 500-page masterpiece of exposition.".
