«A lei é a justiça.» Esta edição junta os textos mais célebres de Bastiat: «O Estado», no qual figura a célebre máxima de que «O Estado é a grande ficção pela qual todos tentam viver à custa uns dos outros»; «A Petição», uma das críticas mais brilhantes à ideologia proteccionista; «O que se vê e o que não se vê», famosa lição de apelo à previdência em economia; e o aclamadíssimo «A Lei», um dos mais célebres e influentes textos do liberalismo francês oitocentista. Fréderic Bastiat (1801-1850) foi um célebre escritor e economista francês. É considerado um dos pais do liberalismo francês oitocentista (a par de Jean-Baptiste Say, Antoine Destutt de Tracy e Gustave de Molinari). Exerceu cargos de juiz de paz e de autarca, e em 1848 foi eleito para a Assembleia Nacional. Autor de várias obras, foi um acérrimo defensor do mercado livre, tendo influenciado a Escola Austríaca.

A Sabedoria dos Estoicos é mais que uma simples compilação de textos, é uma curadoria de escritos dos principais autores estoicos da era clássica, feita por dois notáveis estudiosos da filosofia estoica. O estoicismo, nascido para ser um guia de vida, desde o início não se preocupou muito em ser altamente literário, era antes aquilo que se convencionou chamar de "filosofia prática". Assim sendo, muitos textos clássicos do estoicismo padecem de uma clareza editorial, muitas vezes repetitivas, o que costuma desencorajar alguns leitores. Os textos estoicos de Marco Aurélio, por exemplo, serviram antes como seu diário pessoal, anotações práticas para o seu cotidiano, um lembrete de virtudes a serem praticadas no dia a dia. É justamente aí que entra a genialidade de Frances K. Hazlitt e Henry Hazlitt, organizadores desta obra. Mais do que apresentar e abrir espaço para o estoicismo na filosofia moderna americana, e, agora, na brasileira também, os estudiosos compilaram o que há de melhor e mais fundamental nos escritos de Sêneca, Epiteto e Marco Aurélio. A curadoria expõe exatamente o que você precisa ler para captar e entender o cerne do estoicismo a partir das fontes originais desse pensamento. Estamos falando de uma filosofia que desceu da torre de marfim, que convidou o homem, suas angústias, defeitos e aporias para um trabalho dedicado de melhoria constante de seu caráter e de sua história. Hoje o estoicismo invade os consultórios médicos oferecendo resiliência, os altos escritórios business de São Paulo, ensinando constância e organização, e também a casa simples de um operário, convidando-o à prática virtuosa da abnegação moral e social. Assim como o estoicismo, este é um livro para todos, do imperador Marco Aurélio ao servo Epiteto, do dono de indústrias aos seus empregados; todos deviam ler o que se encontra aqui.

Da autoria de um dos maiores divulgadores da Escola Austriaca, Economia numa Lic?o e um texto conciso e esclarecedor que visa desmontar algumas falacias economicas que adquiriram quase estatuto de dogma, t?o predominantes se tornaram. Ao por a tonica em soluc?es que n?o passem pela intervenc?o estatal, numa posic?o contra os defices e que valoriza os mercados livres e a liberdade do individuo, este texto de Hazlitt e hoje t?o relevante como na altura em que foi escrito, em 1946.

Inflation – fast selbstverständlich hat jeder schon einmal davon gehört. Aber was sie für den Einzelnen oder eine ganze Volkswirtschaft wirklich bedeutet und wie man sich letztendlich vor ihr und ihren Folgen schützen kann, weiß oft niemand so genau. Henry Hazlitt erläutert endlich auf für jeden verständliche und anschauliche Art die Bedeutung einer Inflation, aber auch die Möglichkeit, einen Nutzen aus ihr zu ziehen. Vor allem aber geht Hazlitt auf die Rolle des Staates bei der Geldentwertung ein. In wieweit ist er für die Ursachen verantwortlich, wie wirksam sind seine Gegenstrategien und profitiert er sogar von einer Inflation? Der seit Jahren vergriffene Klassiker von 1960 ist endlich wieder lieferbar.

2016 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 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 what he considered to be one of the most destructive, fallacious, and convoluted books of the century. The target here is John Maynard Keynes''s "General Theory," the book that appeared in 1936 and swept all before it. In economic science, Keynes changed everything. He supposedly demonstrated that prices don''t work, that private investment is unstable, that sound money is intolerable, and that government was needed to shore up the system and save it. It was simply astonishing how economists the world over put up with this, but it happened. He converted a whole generation in the late period of the Great Depression. By the 1950s, almost everyone was Keynesian. 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 nearly 500-page masterpiece of exposition.

First published in 1959, this is a line-by-line commentary and refutation of one of the most destructive, fallacious, and convoluted books of the century: John Maynard Keynes''s General Theory, published in 1936. In economic science, Keynes changed everything. He supposedly demonstrated that prices don''t work, that private investment is unstable, that sound money is intolerable, and that government was needed to shore up the system and save it. It was simply astonishing how economists the world over put up with this, but it happened. He converted a whole generation in the late period of the Great Depression. By the 1950s, almost everyone was Keynesian. However, 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. "Hazlitt''s fine critique of Keynes is a worthy complement to Mises'' Human Action. Henry Hazlitt, a renowned economic journalist, is a better economist than a whole host of sterile academicians, and, in contrast to many of them, he is distinguished by courage: the courage to remain an "Austrian" in the teeth of the Keynesian holocaust, alongside Mises and F. A. Hayek. On its merits, this book should conquer the economics profession as rapidly as did Keynes. But whether the currently fashionable economists read and digest The Failure of the "New Economics" or not is, in the long run, immaterial: it will be read and it will destroy the Keynesian System."—Murray Rothbard

LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com. 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.

This is a new release of the original 1960 edition.

Over a million copies sold! A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, this classic guide to the basics of economic theory defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. “A magnificent job of theoretical exposition.”—Ayn Rand 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 wrote Economics in One Lesson 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 fifty years after the initial publication of Economics 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 make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.

Henry Hazlitt had left the New York Times in an ideological disagreement over post-war economic policy. Once he left, he was free to speak his mind on the important issues of the day, among which the Marshall Plan. This is his blockbuster argument against the idea of putting post-war Europe on the US dole. He made the case that aid would forestall rather than generate economic recovery. This is the first time this historic and still-powerful book has been available since its publication in 1947.

Long before Charles Murray took on the topic, Henry Hazlitt wrote an outstanding book on poverty that not only provided an empirical examination of the problem but also presented a rigorous theory for understanding the relationship between poverty and income growth. He examines poverty in the ancient world, the poor laws of England, the advance of the middle class in the United States, the failure of welfare programs, the fallacies associated with income redistribution, and the relationship between population and poverty. Its 20 chapters are outstanding essays that make for a well-integrated text on the topic, one which holds up as prophetic in every way, having foreshadowing welfare reform but also pointing the way toward even more radical reforms. The way out of poverty, he explains, is freedom, and freedom alone. 240 pages plus index.

LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com. It''s incredible that this 1916 tutorial on how to think, by none other than Henry Hazlitt, would still hold up after all these years. But here''s why. Hazlitt was largely self-educated. He read voraciously. He trained himself to be a great intellect. In the middle of this process, he discovered that it is far more important to learn to think clearly than to merely take in information. The result was this book.In some ways, it is a course in logic. But more than that, it is a training manual for how to fire up and manage one''s mental energy.He discusses how to think about analogies and discover their errors. He speaks of the error of too much aggregation and misplaced definitions. He presents the rules for the interplay between theory and example. He shows how to spot errors in theory and experiments. He shows how to think all the way to the end of a problem. He gives some very practical advice on the relationship between thinking and reading - and how to plan that reading so that one uses one''s time well.His examples of how to think and how not to think are lucid and compelling. His influences in this little book include Stanley Jevons and Herbert Spencer, so we can see here that Hazlitt was already steeped in economic literature when he wrote this book in 1916.It remains an excellent primer in how to gain, and make use of, a good education.
