When I first met Henry Hazlitt, I was, of course, in awe. After all, a birthday gift of Economics in One Lesson had changed my life.
I was then an editor at Arlington House Publishers, where I worked with Mises. Arlington brought Hazlitt back into print, and published his new works as well. He was 73, I was 24. Little did I suspect that this extraordinary man still had 20 years of work to do.
Anonymous leakers at the CIA continue to make claims about Russia and the 2016 election. In response to demands to provide evidence, the CIA has declined to offer any, refusing to meet with Congressional intelligence committees, and refusing to issue any documents offering evidence. Instead, the CIA, communicating via leaks, simply says the equivalent of ”trust us.”
Not troubled by the lack of evidence, many in the media and in the Democratic party have been repeating unsubstantiated CIA claims as fact.
Chapter 18 The Importance of Liberty

Chapter 19 Economic Method
“Social Science and Natural Science”
