Reviews

[Geir · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a remarkable testimony to the foresight and wisdom of Henry Hazlitt. His articles should stun everyone who reads them and remembers that they are contemporary writings of a man sitting in the middle of the events, and still manages to forecast events so that his predictions have withstood time.

So why is this important? Because if Henry was right about almost everything which was going on in his time, his predictions for our times should very much be a must-read for all of us. His books on economic theory are, in fact, a manual and guide to the future. So, embrace the texts of Henry Hazlitt.

Must read to understand the global monetary issues that are plaguing the world today. Discover how tens of states colluded while the planet was focused on World War II, to create a system, and new supra-national entities, that would lead to continuous currency inflation.

it's not as difficult to understand as you might think. it's a series of editorials and journal articles from about 40 years, beginning in 1944 with the dissenting opinion about the World Bank and IMF. I loved it. It felt relevant with the current trade/currency war going on.

Great book on the problems that stemmed from the Bretton Woods agreement.
