The Law

First published as a pamphlet in 1850 in response to the socialist-communist plans and ideas being adopted in France at that time, The Law remains equally relevant today, as the same ideas are now sweeping America.

Basediat

Bastiat? More like 'Basediat!'

It is no wonder why so many liberty minded titans throughout recent history have shamelessly plundered this mans ideas.

We are being plundered!!!

OMG. I will listen to this book many more times. Even though it’s 100 years old, it’s very relevant in today’s world. I feel smarter having read this book. To better understand this world, read this book!

Good read

This a great book it should be studied in school to show how we are being manipulated

Required reading

The Law should be required reading by all elected officials on an annual basis, and should be taught in all schools.

it's all there since 1850

Now I know where Ayn Rand got her ideas.
Needs and updated reader though.

A Truly Excellent Book!

Frederic Bastiat's "The Law", is a supremely classic philosophic view of law! Furthermore, Bernard Mayes was superb in his reading of it! I highly recommend this audiobook.

Amazing Relevancy in Today’s America

I have been wanting to read this book for many years and was very excited to find it here, available as an audio book.
It does not disappoint and is very relevant during our current time frame here in America as our government continues to grow and the Law is being utilized to abuse the citizens of our once great nation.

Timeless classic

Even though there are those who say history does not repeat itself, there are similar ideals that do. The events that took place in France in the 19th century and is written by someone who defends individual freedoms.

Great book

Probably should be a requirement in every school system. Short enough to quickly dissect an advanced concept. Detailed enough to not leave you wanting more. We have lost the way of brevity. Everything seems dragged out. This book is an amazing reminder of both the optimistic view of society as well as the perils.

A must listen/read

A must read for everyone. Education is key to understanding and listening to the ignorant on social media only erodes society. This book is one of many that help develop understanding and a true sense of how government works for and against its citizens.
