About this listen

First published as a pamphlet in 1850 in response to the socialist-communist plans and ideas being adopted in France at that time, The Law remains equally relevant today, as the same ideas are now sweeping America.

Frederic Bastiat's "The Law", is a supremely classic philosophic view of law! Furthermore, Bernard Mayes was superb in his reading of it! I highly recommend this audiobook.

Even though there are those who say history does not repeat itself, there are similar ideals that do. The events that took place in France in the 19th century and is written by someone who defends individual freedoms.

I have been wanting to read this book for many years and was very excited to find it here, available as an audio book.
It does not disappoint and is very relevant during our current time frame here in America as our government continues to grow and the Law is being utilized to abuse the citizens of our once great nation.

Amazing Relevancy in Today’s America

Probably should be a requirement in every school system. Short enough to quickly dissect an advanced concept. Detailed enough to not leave you wanting more. We have lost the way of brevity. Everything seems dragged out. This book is an amazing reminder of both the optimistic view of society as well as the perils.

Great book

A must read for everyone. Education is key to understanding and listening to the ignorant on social media only erodes society. This book is one of many that help develop understanding and a true sense of how government works for and against its citizens.

It's amazing how true Frederic's words ring today. Published in 1850, but could have been published this year.

This is my first time reading “The Law” and I was very impressed by the conciseness of Frederic Bastiat’s writing. The book is short and fairly easy to read, while presenting the reader with some very dense content.

Perhaps the life span of this book has persisted because you can understand it and relate to its content on a single reading, but there is plenty to contemplate upon subsequent readings. Even though “The Law” is more than 170 years old, the concepts are still as applicable today as I they were when they were written.

I am definitely going to be rereading “The Law” sometime soon, because there was so much of it that I want to retain. It’s one of those rare books that felt like I could have highlighted and underlined the entire thing.

I can really see why people have been talking about this book... for more than 170 years!
