"THE LAW" BOOK DISCUSSION

Chuck Marshall would like to invite you to join him for a book discussion of “The Law” byFrédéric Bastiat. “The Law”, written in 1850, “takes the discourse out of the ivory tower and makes ideas on liberty so clear that even the unlettered can understand them and statists cannot obfuscate them”.

The discussion will:

· Create order in how you think of Liberty and Just Human conduct

· Provide Clarity on the Moral Superiority of Personal Liberty

· Explain why Government is the greatest single threat to Liberty

· Describe why Socialists want to “play God”

· Introduce you to the concept of “Legal Plunder” and “False philanthropy”

At the first session Chuck will lay out the syllabus and schedule for the next three (3) weekly discussions. Please join Chuck as he guides you on a journey that should prove to be interesting, informative, and lively!
