Economic Sophisms: Biographically Annotated Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783988687067)

Including a detailed biographical annotation on Frédéric Bastiat's life and achievements. *** Bastiat's "Economic Sophisms", translated by Dr. Patrick James Stirling, were eagerly welcomed by students of political economy who were not really familiar with French. His object in this work was, as he says, "to refute the fallacies of the Protectionist School, then predominant in France, and to clear the way for the establishment of what he maintained to be the true system of economic science, which he desired to find on a new and peculiar theory of value, afterwards fully developed by him in the Harmonies." *** This landmark series presents a curated collection of the greatest non-fiction works ever written-spanning philosophy, history, theology, science, political theory, economics, and beyond. From the ancient musings of Plato and Confucius to the revolutionary ideas of Darwin and Marx, Foundations of Thought gathers the essential texts that have shaped civilizations and challenged the boundaries of human understanding. Whether exploring the nature of justice, the origins of the cosmos, or the foundations of faith, this series serves as both a gateway to intellectual heritage and a living dialogue with the past. Ideal for students, thinkers, and seekers of wisdom, Foundations of Thought invites readers to engage deeply with the enduring ideas that continue to influence the world today.
