Synopsis
Economics in One Lesson is an introduction to free market economics written by Henry Hazlitt and published in 1946, based on Frédéric Bastiat's essay Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas . The "One Lesson" is stated in Part One of the book: The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

If you want a straightforward explanation of economics, this is it. Very readable, and does not bog down. If you need to supplement your childs public education in economics, this will do it.
