Sophisms of the Protectionists by Frederic Bastiat is a critical examination of protectionism through the lens of classical economic theory. Published in the 19th century, the book addresses the fallacies and economic sophisms used to justify trade barriers and government intervention in the market. Bastiat argues against protectionist policies by highlighting their detrimental effects on market efficiency and wealth creation. He employs clear and logical reasoning to refute the economic fallacies that underpin protectionist arguments, advocating instead for free trade and laissez-faire principles. The book explores the negative impacts of trade barriers on supply and demand, and emphasizes the importance of free market principles for economic justice and prosperity. Bastiat’s work serves as a foundational text in the defense of free trade and provides valuable insights into the pitfalls of interventionist economic policies. His arguments continue to be influential in discussions about trade policy and economic education.
