About The Law
""The Law"" is a book written by French economist and philosopher, Frederick Bastiat, in 1850. In this book, Bastiat argues that the purpose of law is to protect individual rights and property, and that any law that goes beyond this is unjust and leads to tyranny. He also argues that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs and subsidies, is harmful and ultimately leads to economic stagnation. Bastiat uses clear and concise language to explain his ideas, making the book accessible to readers of all backgrounds. ""The Law"" is a classic work of libertarian political philosophy and is still widely read and studied today.And, in all sincerity, can anything more than the absence of plunder be required of the law? Can the law -- which necessarily requires the use of force -- rationally be used for anything except protecting the rights of everyone? I defy anyone to extend it beyond this purpose without perverting it and, consequently, turning might against right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
