BOOK REVIEW
The Law - Written by legendary author Frederick Bastiat is widely considered to be one of the top 100 greatest books of all time. This great classic will surely attract a whole new generation of readers. For many, The Law is required reading for various courses and curriculums. This timeless piece of classic literature, this gem by Frederick Bastiat, is highly recommended for any student of government.
'Lawful plunder' is a term that Bastiat often uses to describe the perversion of law. He gives us a test whereby we can recognize lawful plunder: "See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime...If such a law -- which may be an isolated case -- is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system."
