Article Regarding Books Sophisms of the Protectionists.

If you haven't read Bastiats thoughts about the free market and the criticism against protectionism within France during 1840, you should. His thoughts can be easily applied to todays markets and political questions.

Read this short book and you will understand why protectionism and trade barriers are bad for almost everyone. You'll also learn that before water lines were installed that some people made their living selling bucketsful of water to Parisian residents!!! Bastiat was President Reagan's favorite economist-and no wonder! Bastiat makes the complicated easy and the obscure clear with his examples. Free for Kindle.

Bastiat masterfully destroys the economic fallacies of protectionism and tariffs with simple logic, wit, and analogies in this great book. So many great quotes from Bastiat are also found herein, making it a fun and enjoyable read. I highly recommend.

Excellent read.

A must read for every fledgling libertarian (or full grown libertarian who hasn't read it yet). A brilliant series of essays on the perils of tariffs, subsidies, protectionism, and otherwise government restrictions on free markets. The arguments I believe also apply to as a critique of the anti-globalization movement, although Bastiat was writing before such a movement existed, so its not explicitly addressed. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to pulling out some choice zingers next time I debate

Interesting Quotes:"At all events, let no one claim that because an abuse cannot be done away with, without inconvenience to those who profit by it, what has been suffered to exist for a time should be allowed to exist forever." -Frederic Bastiat, Economic Sophisms"Those who say: Repress all injustice, whether on a greater or a smaller scale, suffer no dishonesty, to however small an extent, are marked down for ideologues, idle dreamers, who keep repeating over and over again the same thing. The

Disappointing. Bastiat has a rare reputation as an economist who could write in clear language. While the First Series of his Sophisms contains some fantastic writing, the Second Series is surprisingly dull with some horribly laboured and long winded stuff. The work is also let down by its uncompromising embrace of the discredited at the time Labour Theory of Value.
