About this listen

The experiments of both Capitalism and Communism are almost complete, and they both lead to one big organization controlling everything you do.

In 1925, when this book was first published, it was true, and it is even truer today.

If you desire an alternative, consider this book, which considers Distributism, a philosophy whereby the actual people own the actual means of production, and produce and sustain themselves with it.

A philosophy summed up in Chesterton's famous proposal of "Three acres and a cow" as being catalyst to an ideal peasant state.

For such a simple idea, it has proven very contrary to the ideas of those in power, which is to say, to those who want power.

But for the rest of us, for the sane humans who desire peace and liberty, this book is a call to action against monopoly and the inevitability of global standardization, which the magazines call the Supply Chain and the Bible might call Babel and Babylon.

Narrated in an accent based upon Chesterton's own, this performance expresses Chesterton's words as he himself might have, delivering them to an audience of his time. Though the themes are timeless, the language very much reflects the period, and the intonation is to help the listener retain the mind of the times.
