It has been well said that “the scholar in politics breathes the still air of delightful studies.” That’s me.
Yet, there wouldn’t be so much to study if all the eternal truths had not been obliterated by socialist teachings.
I would not have had to produce The Essential Frederic Bastiat if the works of this great thinker had not been totally obliterated from public knowledge – by socialists, even in his native France.
Do you see the danger in asking the socialist State to teach the children and the unlettered?
They will use the opportunity to spread socialist propaganda.
Ludwig von Mises used the expression “intellectual bodyguards of the House of Hohenzollern” to describe those of the German Historical School.
I do believe that Manmohan & Co are just that: “Intellectual Bodyguards of The Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty”.
Asking them to teach – and paying an additional education tax for the purpose – just shows how really stupid we are as a people.
We Don’t Need Socialist Education!
That should be the battle-cry of the Liberal Youth Forum – India.

Sauvik,
ReplyDeleteI read your speech.Luckily,I caught up to Bastiat's works at an early phase of my life.The Keynesian boor Samuelson's book was my first work on Economics.However there was a quote from Candle Makers Petition in Samuelson's book which send shivers up my spine.That got me to read Bastiat.Later I went on to read Mises,Rothbard,Ayn Rand,Molinari and all.
