Originally published in 1850. The author, Frederic Bastiat, was a statesman and French economist. At the time of his writing, France was quickly becoming a socialist state. This work by Mr. Bastiat studies, explains, and critiques each socialist policy which he witnessed in his role in the French legislative assembly. This text is a valid read today as these socialistic beliefs are still used in the modern French government and the United States of America. This text should be a required reading for those who study political science, civics, government and law or those who are employed in government.
