Frédéric Bastiat
Claude Frédéric Bastiat (; 30 June 1801〔Thornton, Mark (11 April 2011) (Why Bastiat Is Still Great ), ''Mises Institute''〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frederic Bastiat )〕 – 24 December 1850) was a French classical liberal theorist, political economist, and member of the French assembly. He was notable for developing the important economic concept of opportunity cost, and for introducing the ''Parable of the Broken Window'' or the "Glazier's fallacy". His ideas have provided a basis for libertarianism and the Austrian School.〔〔
==Biography==
Bastiat was born in Bayonne, Aquitaine, a port town in the south of France on the Bay of Biscay, on 30 June 1801. His father, Pierre Bastiat, was a prominent businessman in the town. His mother died during 1808 when Frédéric was seven years old. His father relocated inland to the town of Mugron with Frédéric following soon afterward. The Bastiat estate in Mugron had been acquired during the French Revolution and had previously belonged to the Marquis of Poyanne. Pierre Bastiat died during 1810, leaving Frédéric an orphan. He was fostered by his paternal grandfather and his maiden aunt, Justine Bastiat.〔 He attended a school in Bayonne, but his aunt thought poorly of it and so enrolled him in the school Saint-Sever. At age 17, he left school at Sorèze to work for his uncle in his family's export business. It was the same company for which his father had been a partner. Economist Thomas DiLorenzo suggests that this experience was crucial to Bastiat's later work since it allowed young Frédéric to acquire first-hand knowledge of how regulation can affect markets.〔DiLorenzo, Thomas. "(Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850): Between the French and Marginalist Revolutions )." ''Mises.org''.〕 Sheldon Richman notes that "he came of age during the Napoleonic wars, with their extensive government intervention in economic affairs."〔Richman, Sheldon. "(Frédéric Bastiat: An Annotated Bibliography )." The Library of Economics and Liberty. 2000.〕
Bastiat began to develop an intellectual interest. He no longer wished to work with his uncle and desired to go to Paris for formal studies. This hope never came true as his grandfather was in poor health and wished to go to the Mugron estate. Bastiat accompanied him and cared for him. The next year, when Bastiat was 24, his grandfather died, leaving the young man the family estate, thereby providing him with the means to further his theoretical inquiries.〔 Bastiat developed intellectual interests in several areas including "philosophy, history, politics, religion, travel, poetry, political economy and biography."〔 "After the middle-class Revolution of 1830, Bastiat became politically active and was elected justice of the peace of Mugron during 1831 and to the Council General (county-level assembly) of Landes during 1832. He was elected to the national legislative assembly soon after the French Revolution of 1848."〔
His public career as an economist began only during 1844 when his first article was published in the ''Journal des economistes'' during October of that year. It was ended by his untimely death during 1850. Bastiat contracted tuberculosis, probably during his tours throughout France to promote his ideas, and that illness eventually prevented him from making further speeches (particularly at the legislative assembly to which he was elected during 1848 and 1849) and ended his life. During the autumn of 1850, he was sent to Italy by his doctors. He first traveled to Pisa, then on to Rome. On 24 December 1850, Bastiat called those with him to approach his bed. He murmured twice the words "the truth" then died.〔
