RE: A Discussion of the Role of Government in Entrepreneurship

After I read your article, I believe you did a great job of providing a thoughtful critique of the opinions Bastiat had presented in his collection of publications. You made sure to draw attention to a few of his viewpoints on how the government should get involved in entrepreneurship. I thought you did a very good job of using block quotes in your essay, and it did a very good job of highlighting your main points that you were trying to point out in your essay. I also thought you did a good job with your pictures and headers that clearly state what you will be discussing in your below content. I believe you provided a detailed analysis of Bastiat's viewpoints and a discussion of their importance and applicability to the present. Your article showed that you had read and understood all of Bastiat's works. I also thought your block quotes clearly stated that in many ways as well, making them very good choices.
When it came to Bastiat views on government, I felt that you did a very good job of explaining points very well, as well as being unbiased in your views and sticking to the facts.

Bastiat Frédéric’s view of the law is that it should exist only to allow each individual to protect himself, his belongings, and his freedom.

I like that you included this because it is something that really paints a picture on his beliefs and many others beliefs at the time.
Your "Motivating Forces of Man" piece did a very good job of stating your beliefs and clearly highlighting them. I really liked the block quote that you used, although it was lengthy, it does a good job of supporting your essay.

I felt that your essay overall did a very good job of being unbiased and balanced and explaining what you felt was very important in the readings. You used a good variety of block quotes, headings and pictures to insure that this was an essay that was sure to stand out. I also feel that it was very well written and had a very good flow that made it easy to read. The flow also made it a very interesting read grabbing the reader's attention from the start to the finish.
