How is it that regulations enforcer itself doesn't have to keep the law? How is it that regulations permits the state of hawaii to lawfully engage in activities which, if undertaken by individuals, would land them in jail? These are among the most interesting issues in political and economic idea. More specifically, the situation of regulation that itself violates regulation is an insurmountable conundrum of all statist philosophies. The situation hasn't been reviewed so profoundly and passionately as in this essay by Frederic Bastiat from 1850. The essay might have been written today. It pertains to our own time. It applies in all times in which the state assumes unto itself different guidelines and different laws from that where it expects other folks to live. Therefore we've this legendary essay, written in a white warmth against the market leaders of 19th hundred years France, the reading of which has shocked millions out with their toleration of despotism. This new edition from the Mises Institute revives a glorious translation that is out of printing for 100 years, the one which circulated in Britain in the generation that adopted Bastiat's death. This newly available translation provides new perception into Bastiat s discussion. The question that Bastiat handles: how to inform when a regulation is unjust or when regulations maker has turned into a source of regulation breaking?

When regulations enforcer is permitted regarding others lives and property what would be unlawful if the citizens did them, regulations becomes perverted. Bastiat doesn t stay away from the difficult issues, such as why should we feel that a democratic mandate can convert injustice to justice. He deals directly with the problem of the expanse of legislation: It isn't true that the quest of regulations is to regulate our consciences, our ideas, our will, our education, our sentiments, our works, our exchanges, our products, our enjoyments. Its quest is to avoid the rights of 1 from interfering with those of another, in any one of the things. Law, since it has force for its necessary sanction, can only just have as its lawful domain the domain of force, which is justice.
