Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, statesman, and author. He was the leader of the free-trade movement in France from its inception in 1840 until his death in 1850. Bastiat was the founder of the weekly newspaper Le Libre Échange, a contributor to numerous periodicals, and the author of sundry pamphlets and speeches dealing with the issues of his day.

As a pro-free-market deputy in the Legislative Assembly, Bastiat opposed this trend vigorously. His works includes Economic Sophisms, The Law, and That Which Is Seen, And That Which Is Not Seen.
