About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Law by Frédéric Bastiat. Read in English by LikeManyWaters; Michele Fry; William Allan Jones; Brooke Favorat; cfavorat "The law perverted! The law—and, in its wake, all the collective forces of the nation. The law, I say, not only diverted from its proper direction, but made to pursue one entirely contrary! The law becomes the tool of every kind of avarice, instead of being its check! The law guilty of that very inequity which it was its mission to punish! Truly, this is a serious fact, if it exists, and one to which I feel bound to call the attention of my fellow-citizens." —Frédéric Bastiat
