Hazlitt, Henry | July 6, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Meaning of Individualism," by Henry Hazlitt. The problem which the title suggests is perhaps the crucial problem of author's time. There is at present an astonishingly widespread confusion of thought which has led an increasing number of writers to denounce "individualism" in general without giving us any clear idea of what they mean by the term, and without having any themselves. "Individualism" is usually !represented, both by its champions and by its enemies, as a very simple doctrine, when in reality it is a word covering several distinct and often complex doctrines.
