Economic Sophisms by Frédéric Bastiat

A few months ago I discovered Frédéric Bastiat’s work “Economic Sophisms”. Much like his other work The Law, Economic Sophisms provides compelling arguments for free market principles. However, unlike The Law, Economic Sophisms uses biting wit, rhetoric, as well as the sort logical precision in order to reduce each argument against a the free market to what it is, a fallacy or worse yet – a sophism.

The copyright holder to the English translation in America is the Foundation for Economic Freedom (or FEE). Recently I contacted FEE and asked for a license to create an audiobook, which was granted. Over the next few weeks I plan to record a chapter of it and make it freely available.
