The Candlemakers Petition, Frédéric Bastiat
The Candlemakers' Petition by Claude Frédéric Bastiat, an audio transcript of the English translation of the work.
The Candlemakers' Petition was written by Bastiat in 1845 in his book 'Economic Sophisms' as a parody of the policy of protectionism. Many economists consider the work as relevant and true today as it was back then.
