This is a wonderful recording of a very interesting text regarding the benefits of free trade, interest and capitalism. It made me think that capitalism would be a good system for a city of angels because they would all start off with something, none would take advantage of unfair bargaining positions and they wouldn't make mistakes or fall into vices. Bastiat deals with these objections in the last section.
