Excerpt from Sophisms of the Protectionists, Vol. 1
MY Object in this little volume has been to refute some of the arguments usually advanced against Free Trade.
I am not seeking a combat with the protectionists. I merely advance a principle which I am anxious to present clearly to the minds of sincere men, who hesitate because they doubt.
I am not of the number of those who maintain that protection is supported by interests. I believe that it is founded upon errors, or, if you will, upon incomplete truths. Too many fear free trade, for this apprehension to be other than sincere.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays from the 19th-century French economist Frederic Bastiat, who sought to explain economic principles to the layperson to address misconceptions still prevalent today. The main argument and focus is that protectionism, or government intervention in the economy to protect certain domestic industries, is actually harmful to the economy as a whole. Bastiat argues that the best way to improve the economy and make people better off is to promote free trade and reduce government barriers, which stifle economic and societal progress, while free-market capitalism benefits society as a whole in the long term. From government spending, to the role of machinery in economic progress, he offers clear and concise examples of the economic fallacies that plague society. The work serves as a guidebook of sorts, providing readers with the tools to challenge unfounded economic ideas they may encounter on matters including labor, value, and international trade.
