About This Item
Appearance as new unread, unblemished copy in like wraps, as shown.
The Law has been acclaimed for more than a century as the classic moral defense of liberty and limited government. Frederic Bastiat was a renowned champion of individual freedom. And The Law, first published in 1850, is Bastiat's most famous and enduring work.
When a reviewer wishes to give special recognition to a book he predicts that it will still be read a hundred years from now. The Law, first published as a pamphlet in June, 1850, is already more than a hundred years old. And because its truths are eternal, it will still be read when another century has passed. Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before - and immediately following - the Revolution of February 1848. This was the period when France was rapidly turning to complete socialism. As a Deputy to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Bastiat was studying and explaining each socialist fallacy as it appeared. And he explained how socialism must inevitably degenerate into communism. But most of his countrymen chose to ignore his logic. The Law is here presented again because the same situation exists in America today as in the France of 1848. The same socialist-communist ideas and plans that were then adopted in France are now sweeping America. The explanations and arguments then advanced against socialism by Mr. Bastiat are - word for word - equally valid today. His ideas deserve a serious hearing..
