Just starting Chapter XVI.

Always good to refresh one’s knowledge of the Austrian School.

It doesn’t really teach economics per se. It teaches how to think economically. It is great to make your kids read it. I made my 4 each read it twice, once in seventh grade and once in high school. However rebellious they got and whatever utopian schemes they are exposed to they can hear no scheme for improvement of the society without thinking “and then...” They are immune to Leftism. I wasn’t and had to go through a painful recovery period. I keep a stack of HH books to give away to promising youths. Hazlitt’s book is sort of economic prophylaxis.
