Wpływ myśli Fryderyka Bastiata na austriacką szkołe ekonomii
The Impact of Frederic Bastiat's Thought on the Austrian School of Economics

Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to demonstrate the impact on Frederic Bastiat's writings on the Austrian School of Economics, and his underestimated contribution to economic theory. I consider five principal issues: methodology, value theory, the role of state, compet5ition as dynamic exploratory procedure, money issue and a related problem of the role of time in economy. I try do demonstrate that Bastiat was not only a journalist, but also a theorist. His ideas are present, above all, in works of Eugen of Boehm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich August von Hayek and Murray Newton Rothbard. Therefore, it the Austrians, on whom the responsibility of propagating Bastiat's writings and saving them from oblivion lies.
