The Law

Opis książki:

The Book and Author When a reviewer wishes to give special recognition to a book, hę predicts that it will stiii be read "a hundred years from nów." The Law, first published as a pamphlet in June, 1850, is aiready morę than a hundred years old. And because its truths arę eternal, it will stiii be read when another century has passed. Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, statesman, and author. Hę did most of his writing during the years j ust before-and immediately following -the Revolution of February 1848. This was the period when France was rapidły turning to complete socialism. As a Deputy to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Bastiat was studying and explaining each socialist fallacy as it appeared. And hę explained how socialism must inevitably degenerate into communism. But most of his countrymen chose to ignore his logie. The Law is here presented again because the same situation exists in America today as in the France of 1848. The same socialist-communist ideas and plans that were then adopted in France arę nów sweeping America. The explanations and arguments then advanced against socialism by Mr. Bastiat arę-word for word-equally valid today. His ideas deserve a serious hearing.
