On the other hand, counter considerations increase its possibility. The internet can substantially enhance the prospects of smaller businesses. Solar panels allow energy production right at the home. Small scale and micro production is also significantly advancing. Technological advances are very central to these and many other helpful trends.
There is also alot more strength to fair trade, buying local and co-ops then many of us realize. Advertising is key here.
I do agree with the speaker ideally, but I think that the distributist system is becoming increasingly unlikely to implement as the years unfold. The era of small businesses is starting to shrink, and the power of the government and corporations is on the rise. It also doesn't reflect that ugly part of human nature that is nothing but discontent and greed, a part that needs to be transcended if one is ever to recognize the ideals of distributism and Christianity as valid.
Sometimes it is hard to see the forest from the trees. Clearly a seed was planted or the forest you stand in wouldn't exist . This man is simply watering a seed to a Family centered forrest.
I've worked in a factory, a farm, and have done hard manual labor.
I can tell that none of these people ever worked in a factory or on a farm. Priests, Popes and these academics have never been in economics and I find what they have to say very hard to take.
