Spotlight On Liberty - Frederic Bastiat
Frederic Bastiat Short Bio:
Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was one of the leading advocates of free markets and free trade in the mid-19 century. He was inspired by the activities of Richard Cobden and the organization of the Anti-Corn Law League in Britain in the 1840s and tried to mimic their success in France. Bastiat was an elected member of various French political bodies and opposed both protection and the rise of socialist ideas in these forums. His writings for a broader audience were very popular and were quickly translated and republished in the U.S. and throughout Europe. His incomplete magnum opus, Economic Harmonies, is full of insights into the operation of the market and is still of great interest to economists. He died at a young age from cancer of the throat.
For this video, I am going to put the Spotlight on "The Law", which Bastiat published in 1850. Note that his writings were in French, so the versions referenced are English translations.
Now, onto a reading from Frederic Bastiat's "The Law".
That concludes a short reading from Frederic Bastiats "The Law", which was published in 1850. Links to both a PDF and online web page version are in the description below. These are versions from different sources, so there may be slight variations in the translation.
And so ends another video that puts a Spotlight on Liberty. Please like, share and subscribe if you have not already.
Remember, government is just another word for coercion, violence and slavery.
Thanks for listening. Take care.
