Acknowledgements

0:00The Failure of the New Economics, written by Henry Hazlitt, read by Josiah Schmidt, for the Ludwig von Mises Institute, at www.mesis.org Acknowledgements I am indebted to Harcourt Brayson Company, the American publishers of Keynes's General Theory, for their generous permission to reprint so many passages from that book. This extensive quotation, rather than mere paraphrase, seemed to me almost unavoidable in the present critical work because of the many existing and possible interpretations and Disputes Concerning What Keynes Actually Said.

1:00I wish to thank the New York Times for permission to reprint as an appendix my article on Keynes's economic consequences of the peace in its issue of March 11, 1945. I also wish to thank Newsweek for permission to use tables, charts and excerpts from some Some of my articles that originally appeared in its pages. My indebtedness to other publishers for permission to quote from authors or books published by them is, I hope, sufficiently indicated in the text or in footnotes. I am grateful to Ludwig von Mises for reading the galleys and offering some invaluable suggestions.

1:47For the opinions expressed and any errors made, I alone, of course, must be held responsible. My wife, as usual, has helped me in scores of details. Henry Hazlitt, January 1959
