Although the contents of this book are great in scope and influence and should be read by anyone interested in current affairs and economics, this is a rather poor edition of Bastiat's works. Pages in the table of contents don't correspond to actual pages in the book, paper is of poor quality, there is hardly any editing work, hardly any titles or subtitles, no effort in layout, no font variation from body to periphery of text... It is a very confusing edition and one that is hard to get through. My high school essays where better presented than these. At any rate, get Bastiat's works, but maybe avoid this specific edition.
