Consider Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Hazlitt patiently walks through dozens of economic fallacies—from broken windows to tariffs—using a single core principle: good economics considers both the seen and unseen. The prose is clear, and each short chapter feels like a mental exercise. But the relentless repetition of the same argumentative structure can feel like a sermon, and examples from the 1940s will strike some readers as musty. Best as a starting point for logical thinking, not a comprehensive economics course.”
