On January 28, 1912, Belgian economist Gustave de Molinari died. The last major economist of the French Liberal School, heir to Frederic Bastiat, and a prominent advocate of laissez faire, Molinari’s last book, “The Society of To-morrow” (the only one of his many books to be translated into English in his day) envisioned a future of extremely limited government, arguing against the growing tide of socialism and war that was becoming the then-near future.
