Start Here!

Welcome to EiOLit21C! The aim is to show the average person who hasn’t studied economics a simple way to know when they’re being deceived by politicians, economists or activists.

It follows the structure of Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson (1946): start with a simple one-sentence lesson, and then apply it to a variety of questions which you might wonder about, or hear discussed in the news.

I’ll be publishing one 2-5 minute article per week (on Friday morning), and occasionally supplementing it with a bonus article.

To get started, I recommend reading the following posts:

1. Introduction and Plan of the Work

2. The One Lesson

3. Debts

4. Raw Net Worth

5. The 7 Economic Actions

I’d be delighted to hear any feedback you have, either positive or negative, or any questions: comments on the articles are probably the best place. If you want to contact me privately, you can find me on Twitter: Economics21st
