› Find signed collectible books: 'Bastiat's 'the Law'
Frederic Bastiat, who was born two hundred years ago, was a leader of the French laissez-faire tradition in the first half of the nineteenth century. He was influenced by Cobden's Anti-Corn Law League and became a convinced free trader. Joseph Schumpeter described Bastiat as 'the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived'.
In The Law, written in 1850, the year of his death, Bastiat recognises the central importance of the law and morality in a free society. He was concerned that government was using the 'law' to become too active a participant in the economy whilst devoting too little attention to protecting life and liberty.
This Occasional Paper, which reprints an English translation of The Law, includes a new introduction by Professor Norman Barry of the University of Buckingham which places Bastiat's views in their historical context and explains their continuing relevance today. [via]

[Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.]
[Read by Bernard Mayes]
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 of 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.
The Law is relevant today because the same situation exists in America now as in France of 1848. The same socialist-communist plans and ideas that were adopted in France are now sweeping America, notwithstanding the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. The explanation and arguments then advanced against socialism by Mr. Bastiat are, word for word, equally valid today. His ideas deserve a serious hearing. [via]

This book is based on the economic situation prevalent in 19th-century France. It is an in-depth analysis of the importance of liberty, law, economics and socialism. According to Bastiat, government redistribution of wealth and resources for equity leads to corruption in society. Hence, in order to provide people with more choices, government role should be minimized. Highly recommended!
