On social media earlier this day, I came across a post asking for advice about books that explained distributism, especially ones that might help to simplify the concept for those who are not economists or are not familiar with what distributism really is. A number of people had suggestions
I had to get off to Mass, so I did not read it in the depth it merited. And, of course, later when I tried going back to find it I could not.
Still, I do remember some of the titles. And naturally, there are some familiar authors cited.
Among the works mentioned:
Rerum Novarum: On The Condition Of Working Classes by Pope Leo XIII
What's Wrong with the World by G.K. Chesterton
The Outline of Sanity by G.K. Chesterton
Utopia of Usurers by G.K. Chesterton
The Servile State by Hilaire Belloc
Economics for Helen by Hilaire Belloc
Small is Still Beautiful: Economics as if Families Mattered by Joseph Pearce
I've read the Chesterton books. I'm currently reading Rerum Novarum. Pearce's book is on my shelf of books to read.
The Hound of Distributism by Richard Aleman and Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered by Ernst F. Schumacher got mentioned.
