While other economists were looking at how maintaining a standing army, launching public works projects, and even destroying things, as a way to spur the economy, Bastiat showed in this classic economics essay just how wrong this thinking is -- or at least, how it is incomplete. 'What is seen' is plain enough: the broken window. 'What is not seen' requires some imagination and curiosity, but is nonetheless real: the things not purchased because the money had to be used for the window, and other unintended consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the original 1853 English translation out of the original French, as found in Bastiat's \"Essays on Political Economy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430776062173,"sku":"9781947844339","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/RGhxVUwxcXNaL2hLYVF4MTZtUTFXUT09.webp?v=1771321313","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/that-which-is-seen-and-that-which-is-not-seen-bastiat-and-the-broken-window-1853-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
