Way to Will-Power By Henry Hazlitt Contents I--A RevelationII--The Intellect as a ValetIII--The Price One PaysIV--Old Bottles for the New WineV--Resolutions Made and Resolutions KeptVI--Success and the Capital SVII--The Scale of ValuesVIII--Controlling One's ThoughtsIX--The Omnipresence of HabitX--The Alteration of HabitXI--Will and the PsychoanalystsXII--ConcentrationXIII--A Program of WorkXIV--The Daily ChallengeXV--Second and Third WindsXVI--Moral Courage Excerpt YOU have seen the advertisements. The lion and the man are facing each other; the man upstanding, hands clenched, his look defiant and terrible; the lion crouching. Who will win? The man, without doubt. He has what the beast lacks, Will-Power. And at the bottom of the page is the triangular clipping which you cut out and send for the book on how to acquire it. Or perhaps the advertisement promises you a $10,000 a year position. Nothing less than $10,000 a year seems capable of attracting the present-day reader of twenty-cent magazines. And those positions, one learns, are reserved for the men of Will-Power (not forgetting the capitals). The advertisements betray bizarre ideas about the will and will-power. Any one who has the remotest notion of psychology might be led from them to suspect the advertised course. But the advertisements reflect not alone the advertiser's ideas, but the ideas of the plain man. they are written to catch the plain man's eye, and they do catch his eye, else how account for their persistence, their enlargement, and their multiplication, notwithstanding the notorious expensiveness of advertising? Now I am about to reveal a profound secret about the will. The revelation will cause a good deal of shock and disappointment and a bedlam of protest. However, I derive courage to meet the protest because I have an imposing body of psychologic opinion behind me. I have behind me most of the reputable pscyhologic opinion since Herbert Spencer. And so here it is: The will does not exist. I repeat it, lest you fancy there has been a misprint. There is no such thing as the will. Nor such a thing as will-power. These are merely convenient words. Now when a man denies the existence of the will he is on dangerous ground. It is as if he were to deny the existence of the tomato. Yet I do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Henry Hazlitt fue un economista, periodista y filósofo liberal nacido el 28 de noviembre de 1894 en Filadelfia, Estados Unidos, y fallecido el 9 de julio de 1993 en Nueva York. Es reconocido como uno de los principales defensores del libre mercado y de las ideas de la Escuela Austriaca de economía durante el siglo XX. Aunque no tuvo formación universitaria completa, desarrolló una sólida carrera intelectual gracias a su estudio autodidacta y su experiencia en el periodismo económico.

Hazlitt trabajó como editor y columnista en importantes medios como The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times y Newsweek, donde explicó temas económicos de manera clara para el público general. Su obra más famosa es Economics in One Lesson, publicada en 1946, en la que argumenta que las políticas económicas deben analizarse considerando sus efectos a largo plazo sobre toda la sociedad y no solo sobre grupos específicos.

Además, defendió la libertad individual, el comercio libre y criticó la intervención excesiva del Estado en la economía. Sus ideas influyeron en economistas y pensadores liberales de distintas generaciones. Hoy es considerado una figura clave en la divulgación de la economía clásica y liberal.
