Bastiat began to develop an intellectual interest.
He no longer wished to work with his uncle and dreamed of going to Paris for formal studies.
This dream never came true as his grandfather was in poor health and wished to go to the Mugron estate.
Bastiat accompanied him and took care of him.
The next year, when Bastiat was 24, his grandfather died, leaving the young man the family estate, thereby providing him with the means to further his theoretical inquiries.
Bastiat developed intellectual interests in several areas including " philosophy, history, politics, religion, travel, poetry, political economy and biography.
" " After the middle-class Revolution of 1830, Bastiat became politically active and was elected justice of the peace of Mugron in 1831 and to the Council General ( county-level assembly ) of Landes in 1832.
He was elected to the national legislative assembly after the French Revolution of 1848.
