Summary "Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Frédéric Bastiat" by Frédéric Bastiat is a comprehensive collection of economic writings compiled especially for the digital platform, Project Gutenberg. Written during the mid-19th century, this collection encompasses a variety of essays and treatises on political economy, the concepts of free trade, and critiques of protectionism. The book serves as a significant resource for understanding Bastiat's economic theories, particularly his arguments for free trade and against government intervention in the economy. The book includes several influential essays, such as "What is Free Trade?" and "The Law," where Bastiat explores themes of individual liberty, the moral implications of law and governance, and the principles of economic freedom. His works dissect the fallacies of protectionism and provide insights into the nature of economic exchanges and the consequences of government intervention. Through creative analogies, such as the famous "Broken Window Fallacy," Bastiat illustrates the unseen effects of economic policies, emphasizing how true wealth is generated through voluntary exchanges rather than coercive measures. Overall, this collection highlights Bastiat's impact on classical liberal economic thought and remains relevant for readers interested in economics, politics, and social philosophy.
