On a serious note, I'm also compelled to buy another book that looks fantastic: The Hound of Distributism. I've talked about Distributism before as an alternative to good old conservative vs liberal politics. I'm feeling disenchanted by liberal politics these days, and I certainly don't see myself as a conservative, so I'm back to dreaming about the politics of a distributist model.Originally Posted by LDAHL
A really nice, concise definition of distributism is on the book jacket:
The essence of distributism is self-government, self-control, and self-sufficiency. The foundation of distributism is ownership. The heart of distributism is the family. The state and the marketplace must serve the family--not the other way around.
LDAHL, because this model was born out of Catholic social teaching, I'd think you'd be kind of into it.
