Frédéric Bastiat was the first European thinker that reacted and responded to the evil and sinister concepts presented by Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. His thinking has turned to be more relevant today than ever because a similar situation exists in the USA today as it did in 1848 France. The same Socialist-Communist ideas and plans that were then adopted in by the French are now sweeping America. The arguments advanced against socialism by Frédéric Bastiat are -word for word- equally valid today. His ideas deserve a serious hearing.
