Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of M. Frederic Bastiat's most influential essays, That Which Is Seen and That Which is Not Seen details the way in which economic truths are gained - by looking at the whole picture. Bastiat shows that the things overlooked or "not seen" are often the less desirable sides of the issues, and that it is these things which should be examined the most when making laws or economic decisions. This book holds particular weight in our current state of affairs, and should be especially examined for its uncovering of wasteful government spending practices.
