Economic Sophisms (1873)

Economic Sophisms is a collection of essays by French economist Frederic Bastiat, published posthumously in 1873. In this work, Bastiat uses his wit and logic to debunk popular economic fallacies of his time. He argues against protectionism, tariffs, subsidies, and other government interventions in the economy, which he believed were harmful to both individuals and society as a whole. Through his clear and concise writing style, Bastiat presents complex economic concepts in a simple and understandable way, making his ideas accessible to a wide audience. Economic Sophisms remains a classic work of economic literature and a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the principles of free-market economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
