“I, Pencil: My Family Tree” as told to Leonard E. Read, Dec. 1958
- Leonard E. Read (author)
- Milton Friedman (introduction)
A charming story which explains how something as apparently simple as a pencil is in fact the product of a very complex economic process based upon the division of labor, international trade, and comparative advantage.
