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.

The Liberty Collection includes: "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat (1 hour 20 minutes). Bastiat (bawst ya) (1801-1850) was an economist, a member of the French assembly and an influential libertarian speaker and writer. "The Law", Bastiat's most famous work, argues that the purpose of the law is the protection of individual rights, and that when governments adopt policies favoring particular industries or groups, the law becomes an instrument of injustice and oppression.

Libéral classique, farouche défenseur de la liberté sous toutes ses formes, Frédéric Bastiat démontre dans les Sophismes économiques les bienfaits de la liberté et les méfaits de la contrainte dans les échanges économiques. Il va reprendre les arguments les plus communs de ses contradicteurs et en démontrer la tartuferie, n'hésitant pas parfois à les pousser jusqu'à l'absurde.

"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.

The Law was originally published as a pamphlet in French in 1850 by Frederic Bastiat. It is his most famous work and was written two years after the third French Revolution of 1848. It defines, through development, a just system of laws and then demonstrates how such law facilitates a free society. Bastiat was a French classical liberal theorist, political economist, and member of the French assembly.

Bastiat considers the value of a broken window in promoting industry; the value of armies, public works, and government credit guarantees in increasing employment; the danger that better machinery poses to employment; the use of tariffs to protect industry, and other economic fallacies.

Frédéric Bastiat was an early 19th century French economist/statesman whose common sense essays tried to battle the rise of socialist ideology after the French revolution, where provisional governments were rivaling each other for power. Of central concern was who should control the money. How is wealth created? How should it be divided amongst the people? What services should government provide? Same questions we are asking now.

Escrita no ano da morte do autor, esta obra diagnostica a França pós-revolucionária, no tocante às ideias de lei e justiça defendidas por certos filósofos. Apesar de datar de mais de 160 anos, a temática exposta neste audiolivro permanece profundamente atual.

Escrito no ano da morte do autor, A lei é um bom diagnóstico da situação da França pós-revolucionária com relação as ideias de lei e justiça promovida por certos filósofos. Para ele, a Lei deve proteger o indivíduo, a liberdade, e a propriedade privada. Infelizmente, essa mesma lei pode ser pervertida e posta a serviço de interesses particulares, tornando-se, então, um instrumento de espoliação. É dessa maneira que Bastiat analisa o funcionamento do Estado, esta "grande ficção através da qual todos se esforçam para viver às custas dos demais".

"La loi c'est la Justice Organisée." Publié en 1850, ce pamphlet resté célèbre définit la loi comme une forme organisée visant à faire obstacle à l'injustice. Il y dénonce notamment les différentes formes de spoliations opérées sous couvert de la loi lorsque celle-ci est pervertie et détournée de sa vraie mission au profit d'une minorité, lorsque la loi, sous l'effet de ce qu'il appelle la spoliation légale, viole les propriétés au lieu de les garantir.

The Law is an 1850 book by Frédéric Bastiat. It was written at Mugron two years after the third French Revolution and a few months before his death of tuberculosis at age 49. The essay was influenced by John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and in turn influenced Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. In The Law, Bastiat says "each of us has a natural right – from God – to defend his person, his liberty, and his property." The State is a "substitution of a common force for individual forces" to defend this right.View our full collection of podcasts at our website: https://...

Frédéric Bastiat zapisał się w historii jako wolnorynkowy ekonomista, który w prosty, ale dobitny sposób obnażał rozwiązania gospodarcze proponowane przez socjalistów. Jego publikacje cechuje specyficzny styl wypowiedzi okraszony ironią i prostymi przykładami, dzięki czemu działają one nawet na wyobraźnię osób niezaznajomionych z mechanizmami działania makroekonomii. Audiobook "To, co widzialne i to, czego nie widać" to jedna z najbardziej znanych prac autora, skupiająca się na wyszczególnieniu i opisaniu w obrazowy sposób głębokich błędów myślowych dotyczących ekonomii.

Frédéric Bastiat uważany jest za jednego z prekursorów austriackiej szkoły ekonomii. W swoich pracach za pośrednictwem prostych do zrozumienia przykładów analizował i krytykował poglądy socjalistów oraz społecznie szkodliwe mechanizmy funkcjonowania gospodarki. Publikacja "Rząd" skupia się na zdefiniowaniu oraz wyjaśnieniu sposobów działania tytułowego organu władzy. Nie brakuje w niej charakterystycznej dla Bastiata ironii i precyzyjnego wskazywania absurdów na stałe goszczących w systemie politycznym.
