While other economists were looking at how maintaining a standing army, launching public works projects, and even destroying things, as a way to spur the economy, Bastiat showed in this classic economics essay just how wrong this thinking is -- or at least, how it is incomplete. 'What is seen' is plain enough: the broken window. 'What is not seen' requires some imagination and curiosity, but is nonetheless real: the things not purchased because the money had to be used for the window, and other unintended consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the original 1853 English translation out of the original French, as found in Bastiat's \"Essays on Political Economy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fr馘駻ic Bastiat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947844334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947844339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzeteo Enterprises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Fr馘駻ic Bastiat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978941038847,"sku":"9781947844339","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b370215-c495-4e0e-bd9b-c9fdaecad05d.jpg?v=1683243640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/that-which-is-seen-and-frdric-bastiat-9781947844339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
