This book is awesome. It reminded me of 1984 quite a bit since it deals with a futuristic culture, but instead of complete oppression like Orwell wrote about, Burgess depicts a society which still has lots of corruption. The complete disregard for human rights will shock you, but the punishment will shock you even more. The ending of the version I read left in an extra chapter that had been left out of previous American editions, and I must say that it leaves the reader with much more closure about the situation at the end of the book. I highly recommend this edition over others because of that. It's a real bezoomny book! Your glazzies will leak kroovy all over - it's horrorshow.

Awesome book. I highly recommend to anyone interested in a non-Keynesian view of economics. Hazlitt goes over inflation, trade, labor, foreign exchange, social programs, and many other topics. He uses logic to explain his viewpoints, shedding all emotion from his arguments. Many, many fallacies are explained away almost instantaneously.

This is a very easy read for this type of material. It is clear and concise, and does not take a college degree to understand.
