Frédéric Bastiat uważany jest za jednego z prekursorów austriackiej szkoły ekonomii. W swoich pracach za pośrednictwem prostych do zrozumienia przykładów analizował i krytykował poglądy socjalistów oraz społecznie szkodliwe mechanizmy funkcjonowania gospodarki. Publikacja "Rząd" skupia się na zdefiniowaniu oraz wyjaśnieniu sposobów działania tytułowego organu władzy. Nie brakuje w niej charakterystycznej dla Bastiata ironii i precyzyjnego wskazywania absurdów na stałe goszczących w systemie politycznym.
