The Law

Book • 1850
In 'The Law', Frédéric Bastiat explores the nature and purpose of law in society, arguing that the fundamental role of law should be the protection of individual rights such as life, liberty, and property.

He critiques the misuse of law for 'legal plunder' and emphasizes that justice has precise limits, while philanthropy and government intervention can lead to endless statism.

Bastiat argues that laws should not be used to oppress or exploit individuals but rather to safeguard their rights, and he warns against the dangers of misapplied legal authority and the exploitation of power by legislators.
