Overview

Here, in this 1850 classic, a powerful refutation of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, published two years earlier, Bastiat discusses:

• what is law?
• why socialism constitutes legal plunder
• the proper function of the law
• the law and morality
• "the vicious circle of socialism"
• the basis for stable government
• and more.

French political libertarian and economist CLAUDE FRÉDÉRIC BASTIAT (1801-1850) was one of the most eloquent champions of the concept that property rights and individual freedoms flowed from natural law.
