Henry Hazlitt (November 28, 1894 - July 8, 1993) was a libertarian philosopher, economist and journalist for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, and The American Mercury, among other publications. He was credited by having bringing Austrian economics to an English-speaking audience.

Hazlitt is easily-known for his book Economics in One Lesson, but he as well wrote more books, among which the major act in ethics, The Foundations of Morality, and The Failure of the New Economics, a elaborate chapter-by-chapter critique of Keynes's "General Theory" (of which he wrote that he was "unable to find in it a single doctrine that is both true and original. What is original in the book is not true; and what is true is not original.")

Hazlitt was a foundation vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine.

The easily-known quote from either Henry Hazlitt: "Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food."
