Seriously hes in the polymath pantheon of all time greatest minds rubbing shoulders without Newton, Franklin, Tesla, Galileo, da Vinci, John von Neumann, Feynman, Faraday and Copernicus.
It's amazing that Bastiat is no longer required reading in college. That dude changed my life.
I didn't even know about economics until I was an adult, working, wife+kids+house. I should note that I consider myself to be a Recovering Democrat. That should cover a lot of wordy back story crap.
But the internet became a thing, circa just post 9/11, and I someone on Instapundit or Reason linked to Bastiat's "That which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen" on FEE: https://fee.org/articles/the-broken-window/
"It happened gradually, then suddenly."
- Some guy, Ernie something, had a writing problem when he drank
