Tomado de la pasta: "No writer ever explained the danger of legal plunder better than Frédéric Bastiat. His brillian arguments against socialism led Nobel Prize winner F.A. Hayek to call him a publicist of gennius and Harvard's Joseph Schumpeter to call him the most brillian economic journalist who ever lived. Bastiat uses logic and humor -in this abridged edition from his collected works to explode the fallacies on which government intervention in the economy rest. He shows that restricting trade cannot expand prosperity, and that using force to benefit some at the expense of others erases from everyone's conscience the distinction between justice and injustice. For students unaware of the case for free men and free markets, this little book will be a great awakening from the myths of the macroeconomics typical of most economics instruction, and much of economic journalism and political commentary of today. This brief introduction to the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived will serve students and others well in their preparation for life and for their involvment in public affairs." --
