Book Reviews of The Law
Book Review: about the Free Patriot Press edition
Summary: 1 Stars
My low rating refers only to the edition from one publisher - Free Patriot Press, and is not based on the content of the book itself. The problem is that I don't think the Free Patriot Press edition is worth the price. It's all in a bold, sans serif typeface, and the paragraphs aren't even justified. In a classic example of catch-22, this edition sells well because it's ranked high which in turn keeps the high ranking and even more sales - but don't let that fool you. Take advantage of the Look Inside feature and you'll see the text for yourself and see what I mean.
Bastiat's book is a classic and still widely read. There is nothing I can add to the excellent reviews about the books content, but this edition stinks.
Personally, I prefer the following edition: The Law , and find it much easier to read. Check out the link.
Summary of The Law
The Law was originally published in French in 1850 (this translation to English is from 1874) by Frédéric Bastiat. It was written two years after the third French Revolution of 1848 and a few months before his death of tuberculosis at age 49. The essay was influenced by John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and in turn influenced Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. It is the work for which Bastiat is most famous.Business & Investing Books
