Editor's review

This file is itself an index compiled by Project Gutenberg for Bastiat's works, not a complete treatise by Bastiat. Its value lies in letting readers see at a glance which texts by this nineteenth-century French economist and free-trade advocate are available on the Gutenberg platform, providing an entry point for further reading. For those studying the history of economic thought, the classical liberal tradition, or free-trade debates, such catalog pages are practical search tools that save the time of searching title by title. Treat it as a navigation map rather than main text: browse the entries to identify titles of interest, then go to the corresponding e-books. Since Gutenberg pages are in English and the entries are numerous, it is advisable to use it alongside the author's translated name and Chinese titles of his works, so as not to miss familiar Chinese translations by looking only at English titles. It works as a starting point for organizing materials, not as a standalone read from beginning to end.

Who it's for

A good fit for

General readers hoping for complete arguments or continuous main text

Reading tips

About the author

Bastiat, Frédéric, 1801-1850 Author

Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850) was a French economist and political writer known for defending free trade and criticizing protectionism. His writings often dismantle economic fallacies with sharp satire and clear logic: Economic Sophisms and Sophisms of the Protectionists debate tariffs and trade barriers, while What Is Free Trade? sets out the economic principles of free exchange in accessible prose. His work centers on political economy and public policy commentary, written in a lively style rich in analogy, and has been influential in popular economic writing. This collection holds fourteen of his works, including Essays on Political Economy and several volumes of collected writings, which shows the continuing value of his work for Chinese readers. Because public information is limited, biographical details are omitted here.
