La Ley by Frédéric Bastiat
A concise defense of individual rights and limited government, arguing that the proper function of law is to protect persons, liberties, and property; when law is used to confer special privileges or transfer wealth it becomes legalized plunder. The work critiques socialism, protectionism, and other forms of state intervention that pervert the law, urging equal application of justice and a return to natural rights as the basis for a just society.
