The Law (and full collection) by Frederic Bastiat

"The Law" by Frederic Bastiat is a short but powerful treatise on the nature of law and its proper role in a just society. Bastiat argues that the law exists solely to protect individual rights, including life, liberty, and property, and that any attempt to use the law to achieve other ends, such as redistribution of wealth or social engineering, is both unjust and counterproductive. He warns against the dangers of what he calls "legal plunder," where the law is used to enrich some at the expense of others, and argues that the only legitimate purpose of government is to protect individual rights. "The Law" remains a foundational text of classical liberal and libertarian thought, and its insights into the nature of law and the proper role of government continue to resonate today.
