  • Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2013
    This series of short essays summarizes a provocative and fascinating early 20th century argument for the forgotten economic theory of distributism. As conceived by Hilaire Belloc here, and to a lesser extent by his fellow Catholic writer GK Chesterton in books like "The Outline of Sanity," the economic theory of distributism calls for a more widely diffused ownership of the means of production, with small ownership and corporations (similar to the medievel guild system) replacing Capitalism and Socialism/Communism in our world today. Their writings on this subject earned Chesterton and Belloc the nickname "Chesterbelloc," but Belloc offers most of the firepower, giving us a brilliant and surprisingly topical analysis here of why monopolistic economics doesn't work. The problem with Capitalism is that it naturally tends to concentrate ownership in the hands of a few private individuals, turning most of the population into wage earners rather than consumers. Communism and Socialism do the same thing, but concentrate ownership in the hands of governments rather than individuals, while people are still wage slaves. This theory is worth learning in today's unjust world economic order where the poor keep getting poorer. Even if you don't normally like Belloc, whose prodigious output includes a number of vitriolic and dated "fortress Catholicism" style polemics, you'll love this book. The great thing about Belloc is his variety and ability to surprise: He writes some delightful children's books and fiction in addition to his great economic treatises and stirring biographies and travelogues. His history and political stuff is hit or miss, but you won't want to miss this one.

    This book explains true freedom, an alternative opposing marxism and capitalism.
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2014
    Really interesting. Excellent perspective on our reliance on debt and its effect on our liberty. Also on the relationship between monopolies and free markets. Makes the case for preserving the family as the basic unit of society. Without strong families and financial independence ( not necessarily wealth) we all become serfs.
    Enlightening and disturbing at the same time.
