First published as a pamphlet in 1850, Frederic Bastiat's The Law is a landmark work of political science. Its simple but powerful argument, that the law derives from inalienable individual rights, anticipated the vision of America's founding fathers, and ultimately our modern system of government. This revised edition of The Law from Logos Books presents the original French text in Modern American English.
