Bastiat, however, has remained a shadowy entity, even to his few biographers. The same scant details of the man舗s personal life appear in each of the several sketches devoted to his career. In Bastiat舗s case, it appears that there is little to tell concerning most of his personal life. Bastiat apparently spent his first 45 years in quiet preparation for the enormous flash of productive activity which occurred during his last five years. Certainly the best study of Bastiat舗s life is the most recent舒Professor Dean Russell舗s doctoral dissertation舒later revised into book form, Frederic Bastiat: Ideas and Influence.
Paris Though Bastiat舗s return to the peace and quiet of Mugron had given him an ideal opportunity to produce a steady flow of essays, he had been troubled by the feeling that still more needed to be done. There persisted in his thoughts the idea that a French free-trade movement patterned on Cobden舗s work in England was an absolute necessity before freedom of transactions could be brought to France. However effective Bastiat had now proven himself as a writer and thinker, nothing in the quiet young man舗s life had shown the slightest flair for organization or for public life.

In the midst of so many trials, Louis Philippe leaned heavily on the bourgeoisie to maintain his position.
