This podcast presents an audio reading of Frédéric Bastiat's classic essay 'The Law.' It argues that the law can be perverted from its proper purpose of protecting life, liberty, and property into a tool of legal plunder. Bastiat warns that when law is diverted from justice, it becomes an instrument for the greed and selfishness of special interests. The work remains a foundational text for classical liberal and libertarian political philosophy.
