contents	Note On An Error in Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson Walter Block Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Costs Profit Elasticity Parity Prices Economics in One Lesson is the best introduction to economics ever written. It has enticed, educated, and inspired multitudes of people to embrace the teachings of the dismal science. To the extent that if there is any understanding of economics by the general public, it is due more to this book than to any other. Yet, I have uncovered one error in it, which I attempt to rectify, offering a very slightly improvement to a priceless book on economics. 2020 artículo científico 2318-0811 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=586363381011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5863/586363381011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5863/586363381011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5863/586363381011/586363381011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5863/586363381011/movil 10.30800/mises.2020.v8.1258 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5863 MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics application/pdf Instituto Mises Brasil MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics (Brasil) Vol.8
