Legal plunder,〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=David Hart )〕 in the thought of the economist Frédéric Bastiat, is the act of appropriating, under the laws, of the property of others. Throughout history there are many examples of legal plunder as the political and economic regimes that have followed: partial legal plunder are the result of tyranny and protectionism and or universal legal plunder the result of socialism or communism. == In the thought of Frédéric Bastiat == Frédéric Bastiat thougt that the law can only implement the individual rights: personality, liberty, and property. So, if the law goes against the person, liberty, property, it becomes perverse as it goes against the rights that should be protected. For him ''The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense''. So he prefers a government that intervenes as little as possible in the sphere of people, liberty and property. Every citizen is therefore responsible for his fortune or his failures. Frédéric Bastiat to defend his idea of what should be the purpose of the law, has set a specific definition of "''legal plunder''". First he defines "''extra legal plunder''" "such as theft, or swindling, which is defined, foreseen, and punished by the penal code. In that case, "magistracy, police, gendarmerie, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds" are the instrument of the State used against the plunderer and to defend the plundered party. Legal plunder is when the law "''takes from some persons that which belongs to them, to give to others what does not belong to them.''" In that case, "magistracy, police, gendarmerie, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds" are the instrument of the State to defend the plunderer and treat the plundered party that try to defend his proprerty as a criminal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Legal plunder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
