A very short economic argument from 1850. The author presents his thoughts and solutions to certain economic problems. This is the time when the idea of socialism and state intervention in the economy was taking shape. The author clearly opposes both ideas.
The author does not use complicated, academic language - his arguments are presented in a simple and concise form. Another convenience is the fact that Bastiat gives examples from everyday life at the time, which makes it easier to place a given situation in the real world.
Although the book was written 175 years ago, many of the ideas presented by the author are still relevant. For me, this is a very good example of professional argumentation of one’s own beliefs and application of knowledge (in this case - economic) in practice. I return to this short publication from time to time. I believe that it is a very valuable introduction to further deepening my knowledge of economics.
