I also appreciate your final insights regarding the current state of the market in Poland. I think that your insights and thoughts about the current control of business by the state is instructive for many American’s who simply don’t realize how much corruption and control the state still wields over the market.

If you don’t mind I would like to put this up on my blog.

Our government, on the other hand, is so focused on creating jobs that it now does so even by destroying wealth. The debt is increased to entice us to turn in our automotive wealth. We, ourselves, then expend savings or go into debt to buy these slightly better cars. Then government takes the wealth we traded in and destroys it?! Hmm… Things used to fall apart fast enough on their own but now government helps. Perhaps they should outlaw fire departments. That would create a wonderful building boom!

Few see that the funds we used on the car can not now buy something else that, but for their enticement, we would have prefered over a new car. And the increased debt must become our (and our childrens) future increased taxes.

Sadly, this was a popular program.

This system of control is the fundamental model of economic fascism. An essential characteristic of economic fascism is the demand by the ruling class for the participation of its victims…always deemed “voluntary” but always backed by coercion. Thus, “participatory fascism.” Fascist economics is also fundamentally collectivist, and thus it is “capitalistic collectivism.” These definitions are set forth in Professor Charlotte Twight’s 1975 book, “America’s Emerging Fascist Economy,” Arlington House Publisher.

The film will be shown on PBS.

So many illusions in which I had been entertained for so many years are proven so wrong that I feel quite disappointed by my own country.

The specific talent of Bastiat is to make crystal clear what seems to be complicated, and he gives you the keys to better fight all the countless political lies.

I tried to convince people around me to read Bastiat. Not too much success.

In a country where the political forces are oscillating between Marx and Keynes, and where much of the pundits don’t even know the Austrian school, it will take decades before Bastiat is honored as it should.
