A forerunner to the Austrian School of Economics, the French Liberal School was a major proponent of the laissez-faire capitalistic system. Bastiat advocated for unregulated free markets and against protectionism. At the heart of Bastiat's philosophy was an opposition against the redistribution of wealth by the government, which he refers to as "legal plunder", for any reason. In Bastiat's opinion the sole purpose of the government was to protect personal property and liberty. Influenced by John Locke's "Second Treatise on Government", this short little book may seem extreme in its defense of personal property by today's standards. Bastiat in fact opposes such commonly accepted modern day practices as public education. Bastiat's absolutist position is understood when one learns of his personal history, his father's estate was acquired during the French Revolution. While history may ultimately deem Bastiat as nothing more than a reactionary, his contribution to modern economics, which includes the concept of opportunity cost, and his influence on modern political economy cannot be overstated. This edition follows the translation of Dean Russell. [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11908928 [pa] => [publisher] => Neeland Media LLC [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
