Publisher's Synopsis
Harmonies of Political Economy is a book written by French economist Frederic Bastiat in 1860. It is a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the principles of political economy, examining the nature of wealth, the role of government in economic affairs, and the relationship between production and consumption. The book is divided into three parts: the first discusses the nature and origins of wealth, the second examines the role of government in the economy, and the third explores the relationship between production and consumption. Throughout the book, Bastiat argues that economic principles are based on universal laws, and that any attempt to violate these laws will result in economic inefficiency and social harm. The book also includes a notice of the life and writings of the author, providing readers with insights into Bastiat's personal and intellectual background. Harmonies of Political Economy is considered one of Bastiat's most important works, and continues to be studied and debated by economists and political theorists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
