Wow! You're very smart. You know multivariate calculus (which is much more complicated than solving quadratic equations) and the Lucas critique. You went to Chicago. You're much smarter than the average reader of Hazlitt, who is dumb and idiotic, so much beneath you that you can't reason with them, so you prefer to slowly back away and run for the hills. Hazlitt is an absolute genius but at the same time incredibly naive, plain silly, and quite stupid, to be blunt. His main lesson is also vacuously empty. You read his book a hundred times. Thanks for the helpful post. I'm convinced. There's no need to get into specifics as to where specifically Hazlitt went awry.
