Description :
An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the
individual from the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived 8221
(Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist). &nbspThe law is
the organization of the natural right of lawful defense it is the substitution of
collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which
they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure
persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to
cause justice to reign over all. &nbspIt is with these words that the nineteenthcentury
French economist and statesman Fr 233 d 233 ric Bastiat describes
his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the
communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these
pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs
gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order.
Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in
annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the
threat of socialism as philanthropic tyranny, 8221 the enemy to his revered
principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear,
concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a
philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.
