- is an enjoyable and instructive 1966 novel by the critic, journalist, and writer on economics Henry Hazlitt, now available online after being long out of print (which was due perhaps to the limited appeal of a novel based around the long-running "economic calculation debate" between free-market Austrian economists and socialist supporters of central planning, in which the former attempted to demonstrate the untenability of socialism due to the impossibility of the rational allocation of resources to productive uses in a centrally planned economy where there were no prices deriving from the free exchange of goods..)
