Remembering Frédéric Bastiat on his 211th Birthday

My path to libertarianism began with the great Claude Frédéric Bastiat’s masterpiece: That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen

Thank you Mr. Bastiat. Happy Birthday! (thanks to econolog for the reminder)

Quoting Mr. Bastiat from his classic The State (1848)

The state is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
