Economic Sophisms
Frédéric Bastiat
Play
Length 9 h 33 min
Chapters 41
First published 1873
Bastiat speaks with the greatest force to the highest order of intellects. At the same time, he is almost the only Political Economist whose style is brilliant and fascinating, whilst his irresistible logic is relieved by sallies of wit and humour which make his Sophismes as amusing as a novel. - Summary by Richard Cobden
