Natural law

[Kraftr]

The Renaissance, was the time the Dutch Republic was formed and a time of great strife for freedom, and laissez faire.
Under mecaenat of Willem Of Orange great works were written (eg John Locke Treatise on Tolerance)
A little less know is the book I would save from a flood-and that is why I mention it here- to add to the shelf of a future mother, is ‘The Whole Duty of Man According to the Law of Nature’ the lifeswork of german Samuel Pufendorf.
Other great lesser known writers on freedom; Bastiat, Spooner.
