About this title

Synopsis

Clear, practical arguments that cut through common economic myths and show how free trade can benefit everyday life.

This edition brings Bastiat’s famous critique of protection and its fallacies into accessible English, with notes to help readers follow the reasoning.

Structured for quick understanding, the book frames key questions about trade, abundance, taxes, and policy in plain language. It uses historical examples and simple logic to explain how restrictions can affect producers, consumers, and the overall economy, without requiring specialized training.

See how protectionist arguments compare with real-world results and everyday commerce.
Learn to spot common missteps in economic reasoning, like the balance-of-trade fallacy.
Explore how abundance, production, and exchange influence prices, wages, and growth.
Find guidance on evaluating policy proposals with clear, practical analysis.

Ideal for readers of economic history, policy discussions, and anyone seeking a straightforward tour of free-trade arguments.
