Irish Impressions by G.K. Chesterton. In Irish Impressions, familiar Chestertonian themes - distribution of property, industrialism, the Faith and Christian society - are discussed in the context of Ireland's struggle for national and cultural independence in the early 1900s. Not mincing words, Chesterton points out both the strengths and weaknesses of the English and Irish positions during that crucial period, always with wit and wisdom - and an appreciation of religious, cultural and economic essentials - which is characteristic of Chesterton's work.

Action: A Manual for the Reconstruction of Christendom by Jean Ousset. Ousset's most famous work on the exigencies of Catholic Social Action. This work is truly a manual for the modern Social Catholic. It fills a critical void because it does not discuss doctrine per se - i.e., what that Catholic social vision is, but rather it discusses how that doctrine may be implemented and furthered by every Catholic in his respective milieu.

Utopia of Usurers by G.K. Chesterton. In this no-holds-barred collection of articles, Chesterton attacks what he saw as the "usury" inherent in the capitalists' and state-socialists' consideration of everything from the sole and unique standpoint of the potential for profit, and the subsequent prostitution of culture, art, and life to the acquisition of wealth. A gripping read, not for the faint-hearted!

An Essay on the Restoration of Property by Hilaire Belloc. Belloc outlines what a Distributist society looks like, how it may be brought about under modern conditions and what it takes to maintain it. He examines what it was that destroyed widespread ownership of real wealth and property, and what safeguards were destroyed in order to make way for the unprecedented concentration of wealth - in communist or capitalist hands - as we find in modern society.
