The Law

TAGS   Legal System Philosophy and Methodology Political Theory Private Property The Law OCTOBER 9, 2008 Claude Frédéric Bastiat Bastiat's​ timeless essay applies whenever and wherever the state assumes unto itself different rules and different laws from that by which it expects other people to live. 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. Narrated by Floy Lilley.

Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth

Image
TAGS   Calculation and Knowledge Other Schools of Thought Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth DECEMBER 30, 2014 Ludwig von Mises This is the essay that overthrew the socialist paradigm in economics, and provided the foundation for modern Austrian price theory. When it first appeared in 1920, Mises was alone in challenging the socialists to explain how their pricing system would actually work in practice. Mises proved that socialism could not work because it could not distinguish more or less valuable uses of social resources, and predicted the system would end in chaos. The result of his proof was the "socialist calculation" debate. Download audio file READ MORE
