Since 1946, Henry Hazlitt's best-selling Economics in One Lesson has popularized the belief that economics can be boiled down to one simple lesson: market prices represent the true cost of everything.

In Economics in Two Lessons, John Quiggin teaches both lessons, offering a masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes - and failures - of free markets.

Dark Racism examines how racism persists in modern society without relying on overt hatred or explicit language. Rather than focusing on individual prejudice, the book reveals how inequality is produced and sustained through policies, economic incentives, and institutions that present themselves as neutral and fair.
