Life, Liberty & Property | The Law (Frédéric Bastiat) BOOK REVIEW

from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

To quote the great philosopher Judge Dredd .... "I am the law".'The Law' by Frédéric Bastiat is a philosophical treatise that might get confused as political writing due to the subtitle. Bastiat argues that the law should be limited to a narrow subset of protection of natural rights, not to be philanthropic & interfere in people's lives. Mini sections are all throughout with plenty of quotes from the French Revolution and other French notables. I found it to be useful in thinking about how governments should use laws and agree with most of the principles within.Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(3:07) - Themes/Questions(12:59) - Author & Extras(17:51) - Summary(22:51) - Value 4 Value(24:49) - Join Live!Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast
