    The Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    The Law was originally published as a pamphlet in French in 1850 by Frederic Bastiat. It is his most famous work and was written two years after the third French Revolution of 1848. It defines, through development, a just system of laws and then demonstrates how such law facilitates a free society. Bastiat was a French classical liberal theorist, political economist, and member of the French assembly. He was notable for developing the important economic concept of opportunity cost. He was the author of many works on economics and political economy, generally characterized by their clear organization, forceful argumentation, and acerbic wit. Born in Bayonne, Aquitaine, France, Bastiat was orphaned at nine and became a ward of his paternal grandparents. At 17, he left school to work in his family's export business. Economist Thomas DiLorenzo suggests that this experience was crucial to Bastiat's later work since it allowed young Frédéric to acquire first-hand knowledge of how regulation can affect markets. When Bastiat was 25, his grandfather died, leaving the young man the family estate, thereby providing him with the means to further his theoretical inquiries. After the middle-class Revolution of 1830, Bastiat became politically active and was elected justice of the peace in 1831 and to the Council General in 1832. He was elected to the national legislative assembly after the French Revolution of 1848. His public career as an economist began in 1844 and was cut short by his untimely death in 1850. ungekürzt.

    Liberty Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 247min
    The Liberty Collection includes: "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat (1 hour 20 minutes). Bastiat (bawst ya) (1801-1850) was an economist, a member of the French assembly, and an influential libertarian speaker and writer. "The Law", Bastiat's most famous work, argues that the purpose of the law is the protection of individual rights, and that when governments adopt policies favoring particular industries or groups, the law becomes an instrument of injustice and oppression. "Things Seen and Things Not Seen" by Frederic Bastiat (1 hour 9 minutes). Bastiat considers the value of a broken window in promoting industry; the value of armies, public works, and government credit guarantees in increasing employment; the danger that better machinery poses to employment; the use of tariffs to protect industry and other economic fallacies. "Cyrus McCormick, Inventor of the Reaper" by Christopher Crennen (34 minutes). McCormick (1809-1884) demonstrated a workable reaper in 1831 and spent the rest of his life expanding the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company.

Franklin (1706-1790) grew rich publishing Poor Richard's Almanack, under the pseudonym Richard Saunders, from 1732 to 1758. Besides calendar and weather information, Franklin's almanacs had many sayings, proverbs, and aphorisms. A selection of these sayings was added to the 1757 almanac as "The Way to Wealth", a speech by an old man to buyers at an auction. "The Declaration of Independence" by Thomas Jefferson (9 minutes). Jefferson (1743-1826) was the principal author of the Declaration, which asserts that all men are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that the only proper purpose of government is to secure these rights.

    The Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min
    How is it that the law enforcer itself does not have to keep the law? How is it that the law permits the state to lawfully engage in actions which, if undertaken by individuals, would land them in jail? These are among the most intriguing issues in political and economic philosophy. More specifically, the problem of law that itself violates law is an insurmountable conundrum of all statist philosophies. The problem has never been discussed so profoundly and passionately as in this essay by Frederic Bastiat from 1850. This essay might have been written today. It applies to our own time. It applies in all times in which the state assumes unto itself different rules and different laws from that by which it expects other people to live. And so we have this legendary essay, written in a white heat against the leaders of 19th-century France, the reading of which has shocked millions out of their toleration of despotism. This new audio edition, from the Mises Institute, revives a glorious translation that has been out of print for 100 years, one that circulated in Britain in the generation that followed Bastiat s death. This newly available translation provides new insight into Bastiat's argument. The question that Bastiat deals with: how to tell when a law is unjust or when the law maker has become a source of law breaking? When the law becomes a means of plunder it has lost its character of genuine law. When the law enforcer is permitted to do with others' lives and property what would be illegal if the citizens did them, the law becomes perverted. Bastiat doesn t avoid the difficult issues, such as why should we think that a democratic mandate can convert injustice to justice? He deals directly with the issue of the expanse of legislation: It is not true that the mission of the law is to regulate our consciences, our ideas, our will, our education, our sentiments, our works, our exchanges, our gifts, our enjoyments. Its mission is to prevent t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Floy Lilley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/003202/bk_acx0_003202_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Gratuité du crédit (eBook, ePUB)
    La brochure Capital et Rente avait fait une certaine impression sur les classes ouvrières, à qui l'auteur s'adressait, et produit une scission dans certaine portion du socialisme. La Voix du Peuple jugea donc nécessaire de combattre cet écrit. -- Au premier article de M. Chevé, Bastiat fit demander la permission de répondre et l'obtint. Mais il fut prévenu que, pour la continuation de la discussion, M. Proudhon se substituait à M. Chevé. Les répliques se succédèrent à peu près de semaine en semaine jusqu'à la treizième lettre, dans laquelle M. Proudhon déclara le débat clos. Il fit de la collection des treize lettres un volume sous ce titre : Intérêt et Principal. Bastiat, usant de son droit, publia de son côté la même collection, augmentée d'une quatorzième lettre, et lui donna pour titre : Gratuité du crédit. Quelques personnes ont trouvé excessive la patience de Bastiat pendant le cours de cette discussion. Ce paragraphe et le précédent motivent parfaitement son attitude. Il attachait un grand prix à faire pénétrer, parmi les ouvriers, quelques vérités salutaires, à l'aide même de la Voix du Peuple. Ce résultat, il fut encouragé bientôt à s'applaudir de l'avoir poursuivi. Un matin, peu de jours avant la clôture du débat, il reçut la visite de trois ouvriers, délégués d'un certain nombre de leurs camarades qui s'étaient rangés sous la bannière du Crédit gratuit. Ces ouvriers venaient le remercier de ses bonnes intentions, de ses efforts pour les éclairer sur une question importante. Ils n'étaient point convertis à la légitimité et à l'utilité de l'intérêt ; mais leur foi dans le principe contraire était fort ébranlée et ne tenait plus qu'à leurs vives sympathies pour M. Proudhon. « Il nous veut beaucoup de bien, M. Proudhon, disaient-ils, et nous lui devons une grande reconnaissance. C'est dommage qu'il aille souvent chercher des mots et des phrases si difficiles à comprendre. » Finalement, ils émirent le voeu que MM. Bastiat et Proudhon pussent se mettre d'accord, et se déclarèrent prêts à accepter les yeux fermés une solution quelconque, si elle était proposée de concert par l'un et l'autre.

    L'économie politique en une leçon (eBook, ePUB)
    Ce pamphlet, publié en juillet 1850, est le dernier que Bastiat ait écrit. L'auteur en perdit le manuscrit lors du déménagement de son domicile de la rue de Choiseul à la rue d'Alger. Après de longues et vaines recherches, il se décida à recommencer entièrement son oeuvre, et choisit pour base principale de ses démonstrations des discours récemment prononcés à l'Assemblée nationale. Cette tâche finie, il se reprocha d'avoir été trop sérieux, détruisit ce second manuscrit et finira par écrire la version définitive éditée dans le présent ouvrage.
