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.

Good book on minarchism branch of libertarianism

Renowned for being one of the "must reads" on political theory, with particular focus on the limits of state interference in the individual liberty of man and an attack on socialism in the context of the events surrounding the author's life at the time of writing.

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