I just started reading That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen - every American should be reading this! Well written, common sense, great examples. This man knew what he was talking about in the 1800s - why are we not learning from the great thinkers of the past?? I would love to see a debate between Frederic Bastiat and Paul Krugman. Krugman would lose.See More

Is the US Declaration of Independence illegal?

This debate on the Declaration of Independence is interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15345511
The Americans got it right when they went back to natural law. It seemed to me like the British barristers had a flimsy argument. Americans did not have the same rights at citizens in England, and the King did nothing to address the complaints listed in the Declaration. You…

The Syracuse Study Group was inspired to read more of Bastiat after reading That Which is Seen....we chose to read The Law. WOW! Excellent essay that predicts most of the issues the U.S. is having today. Bastiat gives a clear understanding of the relationship between the legislator and the people.
There are also some great comparisons between philosophers that we have touched on in FOL - Montesquieu, Solon, etc. Robespierre said: "The principle of the…

The Syracuse Study Group just finished That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen. A great read!! I would highly recommend Bastiat to most people we know. Its a short, fairly easy read, and will definitely get conversations going. I have even shared it with some of my co-workers.
Its inspired a great idea: tweak some of some of Bastiat's examples to fit modern day, and make a short video for…
