Publisher's Summary

"The Law" by Frédéric Bastiat is a seminal work in political philosophy and economics, offering a robust defense of individual liberty and property rights against the encroachments of government.

Written in 1850, Bastiat's concise yet profound treatise critiques the use of law as an instrument of coercion and redistribution, arguing instead that its proper role is the protection of individual freedoms. Through eloquent and accessible prose, Bastiat expounds on the dangers of socialism and economic interventionism, advocating for a system where the law serves only to uphold justice, ensure public order, and protect rights.

His work remains a cornerstone of libertarian thought, celebrated for its lucid analysis of the principles underpinning a free society and its prescient warnings against the overreach of governmental power.
