The little book, titled "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat, is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MUST READ and if you can get your hands on the paper version I feel that it is a mandatory addition to every home library/bookshelf. Until then, here is a link to an HTML version that you can save. "The Law" was written in the 1800s and if you have never read it you might think that it was written yesterday. The intro: "The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish! If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it." bastiat.org/en/the_law.html
