  The Law

  Bastiat Frederic

  An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the individual from “the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived” (Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist).  The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense; it is the substitution of collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to cause justice to reign over all.   It is with these words that the nineteenth-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat describes his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order. Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the threat of socialism as “philanthropic tyranny,” the enemy to his revered principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear, concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.

  Breached! - Why Data Security...

  Digital connections permeate our lives—and so do data breaches. Given that we must be online for basic communication, finance, healthcare, and more, it is remarkable how difficult it is to secure our personal information. Despite the passage of many data security  
  laws, data breaches are increasing at a record pace. In Breached!, Daniel Solove and Woodrow Hartzog, two of the world’s leading experts on privacy and data security issues, argue that the law fails because, ironically, it focuses too much on the breach itself. 
   
  Drawing insights from many fascinating stories about data breaches, Solove and Hartzog show how major breaches could have been prevented or mitigated through better rules and often inexpensive, non-cumbersome means. They also reveal why the current law is  
  counterproductive. It pummels organizations that have suffered a breach but doesn’t recognize how others contribute to the breach. These outside actors include software companies that create vulnerable software, device companies that make insecure devices,  
  government policymakers who write regulations that increase security risks, organizations that train people to engage in risky behaviors, and more. 
   
  Although humans are the weakest link for data security, the law remains oblivious to the fact that policies and technologies are often designed with a poor understanding of human behavior. Breached! corrects this course by focusing on the human side of security. This  
  book sets out a holistic vision for data security law—one that holds all actors accountable, understands security broadly and in relationship to privacy, looks to prevention and mitigation rather than reaction, and is designed with people in mind. The book closes with  
  a roadmap for how we can reboot law and policy surrounding data security.

  Introduction to the Bills of Exchange Act 1882 – Audiobook Edition 
  Welcome to a journey into one of the most quietly powerful pieces of legislation in British legal history — the Bills of Exchange Act 1882. This audiobook is your guide through the framework that has long governed how debt, credit, and financial promises are handled not just in the UK, but across much of the common law world. 
  At first glance, this Act may seem dry or technical. But look closer, and you’ll discover a legal structure that underpins everyday financial life — from business transactions and commercial lending, to promissory notes and even that cheque in your drawer. It’s a fascinating intersection of commerce, trust, and enforceable obligation. 
  What makes this Act remarkable is its simplicity and longevity. Drafted in Victorian Britain, it remains in force today — a living law that still impacts how money moves, contracts are formed, and obligations are honoured. With a simple signature on a piece of paper, individuals and businesses can create legally binding promises worth thousands — even millions — of pounds. 
  This audiobook brings the Act to life. Whether you're a law student, business professional, or someone exploring the deeper mechanisms of debt, commerce, or sovereignty, this edition will guide you through the full text — line by line — while offering plain-English explanations and insights along the way. 
  The Bills of Exchange Act 1882 isn’t just a relic of the past. It’s a key to understanding the present. And once you understand it, you’ll never look at a signed promise the same way again.
