Isn’t Bastiat an economist of Austrian School?
Yeah. An influencer of Austrian Economics.
He would consider taking from the person with much and giving to the person with little plunder.
Though to be fair he’d probably consider the corporatocracy that creates (or worsens) what is shown in the image to also be plunder.
But he would be against undoing one plunder with another plunder. So while he’d likely morally be for society and individuals fixing what is seen in the picture, he would not be for government doing it (or anyone doing it by force).
I thought that Austrian Economics considers big corporate and big government as nearly same: powerful but economically inefficient bureacracies that remove economic choices from the individual.
