This book certainly makes you stop and ponder; even more so when you realise that not much, if anything has changed since it was written over 90 years ago. Corporate monoliths are alive and well; advertisers still “... tell people in a bullying way that they must ‘Do It Now’ when they need not do it at all.” - taken from my favourite chapter ‘The Bluff of the Big Shops.’ Written in the usual Chestertonian style it does not have the wit of some of his other works and rightly so; this is a serious work about serious matters close to his heart, which point out in many ways that we don’t have to accept the status-quo and that we easily do. In the aforementioned chapter he writes “... I am merely pointing out that if we came to the conclusion that big shops ought to be boycotted, we could boycott them as easily as we should (I hope) shops selling instruments of torture or poisons for private use in the home.” Chesterton ventures that it is not a “... question of necessity but of will.” I think we have forgotten this.

As an advocate of Distributism, an early 20th-century school of social thought developed by the author and his colleagues, Chesterton addresses the topics of concentration of wealth, poverty, work, agriculture, machinery, and capital in this famous work. He favored distribution of wealth while being antisocialist; he advocated ownership of private property while being anticapitalist. He argues that the economic order is bound by moral law and that man should be served by the economy rather than serving it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
