Frédéric Bastiat's (1801-1850) project of critically explaining the glories of free and voluntary markets from an economic perspective went left unfinished due to disease that took him at a relatively young age. However, many of his key thoughts are contained in his book Economic Harmonies. For Bastiat, economic harmony is naturally a result of men living according to God's design. But when men kick against this design with political power and cultural degradation, discord results. George Buchanan was a late 16th-century Scottish Reformed thinker who used Scripture, history, and the natural law to argue for the restraint of civil rulers, the resistance to tyranny, and the freedom of Christian citizens. Like its namesake, the George Buchanan Forum is a community of liberty-minded Christians seeking to integrate theology, political theory, economics, and history. Learn more at https://www.tgbf.org/
