by Frederic Bastiat (Author)

"Each of us has a natural right to defend his person, his liberty, and his property." Political economist and classic liberal theorist, Frederic Bastiat, speaks out against the tendency toward socialism and what he labels as the government's "stupid greed and false philanthropy." He resoundingly refutes the argument that government should be allowed to impose its plans on us by passing laws and then forcing us to pay for them through taxes. A landmark bestseller that has influenced and inspired the libertarian philosophy worldwide.
