About This Book
politicsphilosophy
Why would candle-makers petition the government to block out the sun? In this masterpiece of economic wit, Frédéric Bastiat dismantles the enduring myths of protectionism and reveals why abundance—not scarcity—is the true measure of a nation's wealth. Readers will discover how simple logic and sharp satire can expose the economic 'sophisms' that still dominate political debate today.
