| Subject: VIDEO: Assessing Frédéric Bastiat’s Legacy Fri Feb 14, 2020 8:47 pm | |
| Our friends at the American Institute for Economic Research have released a three-part video series in which David Hart discusses Frédéric Bastiat’s life and intellectual legacy. This short trilogy is an excellent introduction to the famous Frenchman’s thought. In Part 2, for example, Hart says:
One of the things that Bastiat says several times in his writings is that there are all these freedoms we can identify: political freedom, economic freedom, social freedom. But Liberty—with a capital L—is the combination of all of these. And that’s what I find most interesting about Bastiat—in fact, that’s what makes him much more like modern libertarians today, who have this overall picture of how broad and all-encompassing liberty is, whereas so many of the classical liberal of the 19th century, I think, were more compartmentalized in their thinking.
