Essays on Political Economy

Frédéric Bastiat

Sinopse

In "Essays on Political Economy," Frédéric Bastiat offers a profound examination of the economic principles that underpin human behavior and societal structures. Through a series of concise essays, Bastiat employs a clear and accessible prose style, making complex ideas understandable to a broad audience. He deftly critiques protectionism, explores the nature of value and wealth, and emphasizes the importance of free markets, all while advocating for a minimalist approach to government intervention. This collection stands as a pivotal contribution to classical liberal economics and remains relevant amidst ongoing debates about state versus market authority. Frédéric Bastiat, a French economist and political theorist of the 19th century, emerged from a context of political upheaval and economic transformation. His experiences as a businessman and a politician deeply informed his views on individual freedom and economic liberty. Bastiat's commitment to clear reasoning and moral philosophy, as reflected in his earlier works, shines in these essays, demonstrating his belief in the power of economics to illuminate ethical dimensions of human interaction. "Essays on Political Economy" is highly recommended for anyone interested in the foundations of economic thought and its implications for modern policy. Bastiat's insightful analyses encourage readers to critically evaluate commonly held economic beliefs and appreciate the far-reaching effects of government actions on prosperity and individual freedom.

Activating the Common Good -...

Peter Block

A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. 
 
This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. 
 
The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the "business perspective narrative." It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. 
 
Block offers an antidote:  the "common good narrative." It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. 
 
This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.
