O knihe

Essays on Political Economy is a collection of essays by French economist and writer Frederic Bastiat. The book contains a series of essays that provide an insightful analysis of the political and economic systems of his time. Bastiat was a firm believer in the principles of classical liberalism and free-market economics, and his essays reflect these views. In his writing, he criticizes government intervention in economic affairs and champions the virtues of individual liberty, free trade, and property rights. He argues that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs and subsidies, creates inefficiencies and leads to economic inequality. One of the most famous essays in the collection is "The Law," which presents Bastiat's view on the role of government in society. Other notable essays in the collection include "That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen," which highlights the unseen costs of government intervention, and "The State," which critiques the idea that the state is a self-sufficient entity. Essays on Political Economy is an influential work in the history of economic thought, and it remains relevant today as a defense of classical liberal economic principles.
