Sobre Bastiat e o Liberalismo Francês
Artigo de Joseph Salerno The Neglect of Bastiat's School by English-speaking Economists. No artigo Salerno cita Charles Gide que resume perfeitamente porque num pais de adEvogados o liberalismo jamais vingara: "A young man who has studied law seriously for ten years, is naturally led to magnify the offices of the lawmaker. He will be little apt to accept the principle of the liberal school, which maintains the fewer the laws the better, and that to have no laws whatever were best of all. A lawyer will not be apt to relish the doctrine of laissez faire. It is necessarily antipathetic to his modes of thought. In all times and in all countries, but perhaps more distinctly in the history of France than elsewhere, the lawyers have been the natural supporters of the government and even, in a certain sense, the founders of the modern state…. The new professors of economics in the faculty of law were thus drawn by their intellectual training and even by their profession, into a path opposite that of the liberal school".[Dica Badger]
