About this listen
Just in time for Tax Day, the girls discuss Frederic Bastiat’s premier work, The Law. Bastiat wrote this book as an emergency plea against statism, which he recognized as the most pressing threat to the “life, liberty, and property” of the individual. What is the purpose of the law, what happens when law becomes perverted, and how should those in power prevent this perversion? These are key questions that Bastiat answers with the eloquence, urgency, and intensity necessary to properly address the problems that were afflicting the French Second Republic at the time of publication.
The Law Fast Facts:
- Published in 1850, just a few months before Bastiat’s death and two years into the establishment of the French Republic
- Influenced heavily by Locke’s Second Treatise
Influenced Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson
