Synopsis

In this blistering collection of polemical essays, Chesterton launches a prophetic critique against industrial capitalism and the servile state. Examining how unrestrained plutocracy corrupts art into advertising, crushes small property, and reduces free citizens to wage slaves, he champions Distributism, the dignity of manual labor, and traditional human liberty. Packed with fierce wit, these essays offer a timeless defense of ordinary humanity.

About G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the twentieth century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography,Christian apologetics, fantasy, and detective fiction. Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics, and even those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian and came to identify such a position with Catholicism more and more, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time magazine, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."
