About This Book

politicsphilosophylaw

What happens when the Law, intended to protect life and property, becomes the very instrument of their destruction? Frédéric Bastiat’s 'La Loi' is a searing exposé of 'legal plunder' and a timeless defense of individual sovereignty. Discover why the greatest threat to liberty often comes from those who claim to be its architects.
