About this listen

First published as a pamphlet in 1850 in response to the socialist-communist plans and ideas being adopted in France at that time, The Law remains equally relevant today, as the same ideas are now sweeping America.

A quick read for someone looking for an introduction to Libertarianism without perhaps prematurely going into a long, dense political theory book.
