The idea of an updated version of the famous essay by F. Bastiat "What we see and what we do not see or political economy in a lesson" was sédusante but it is clear that I I preferred the clarity of the original to this version. I may have been the subject of cultural bias in the sense that F. Bastiat was French and C. Rist is American. However, trying to be as objective as possible, I found that the original trial Bastiat's pretty timeless yet to be read today, without discounting.
