    About this ebook

    Today, as the gulf between the moneyed aristocracy and the working class grows ever larger, the debate over the morality of interest-earning investments is still a topic of heated debate. In this classic economic text, French scholar Frederic Bastiat sets forth a convincing argument as to why interest-earning investments represent a valid and ethically defensible method of wealth generation.
