Henry Stuart Hazlitt (November 28, 1894—July 9, 1993) was an American journalist, literary critic, economist, and newspaper editor who wrote and edited business and finance articles for such publications as the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and The Freeman. Hazlitt belonged to the Austrian School of Economics and is most notable for his 1946 book Economics in One Lesson. Despite never being trained as an economist, Henry Hazlitt's contribution to Libertarian economic thought is highly praised with Ludwig von Mises going as far as to call him “the economic conscience of our country and of our nation.”
