About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Economic Sophisms by Frédéric Bastiat. (Translated by Patrick James Stirling.) Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Bastiat speaks with the greatest force to the highest order of intellects. At the same time, he is almost the only Political Economist whose style is brilliant and fascinating, whilst his irresistible logic is relieved by sallies of wit and humour which make his Sophismes as amusing as a novel. - Summary by Richard Cobden
