Added external links and put it in the category of "economics books." 149.68.105.112 14:47, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Just read a few chapters of that book online. It sounds reasonably sound - is there a critique somewhere that disproves Hazlitts ideas or are they universally seen as "correct" as they sound by reading the book? Peter S. 13:44, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Of course they're absolutely correct (and not Hazlitt's ideas). The unassailable proof is given by Ludwig von Mises in his masterwork Human Action. But, equally "of course", they're not universally seen as correct -- Socialists and similar types who don't like economics will always "disagree" with anything that demonstrates the invalidity of their beliefs.

I would also like to see a rebuff of this book linked to. What do the socialists and others have to say about it? matturn 05:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Opportunity Cost
Isn't this book typically based on the concept of opportunity cost as economists see it?
If that is so we need to state that.Kendirangu 08:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
