A brief intro to Distributism. Far from adequate. I will have Richard Aleman of The Society for Distributism on to talk about the history of distributism as well as author and apologist Dr. Thomas Storck to talk about distributism as a social, economic, and cultural philosophy.

Doesn't Roger know Microsoft owes its existence to anti-free market copyright protectionism and Mary Maxwell Gates's connections to United Way of America.

One should also mention that his father was on the board of Planned Parenthood and today as co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues eugenics in Africa using them for illegal medical experiments.

The Gates are a connected banker's family. The is no fortune created in this system without the approval of the oligarchs.

All that is required is:

1.) Private Property

2.) Monopoly Laws

3.) Trade Tariffs

So if America suddenly adopted the economic theory of distributism, how will the federal government be able to pay for social programs, education, and defense if the wealth is decentralized?

[Greenmist14]

that was awesome man! Have you read the new dristributist book " Toward a Truly Free Market" by John C. Medaille?

Phillip Blond in the UK is quite an influential voice in modern distributism ; he has used the terms "Red Toryism" and (better) "Civic Conservatism"

How do Distributists like yourself feel about taxation; I have been a fan of a national sales tax like the Fairtax but I have also been reading a lot about Georgism and a tax on land value.

@Glyre777 GK Chesterton wrote in "Why I Became A Catholic" that the Catholic Church has before been the proponent of ideas so new, they just got themselves called crazy. Francisco Suarez and Roberto Bellarmino both recognized Enlightenment ideals of local government and international law, over 200 years before the revolutions in America and France. Jesuit casuistry was mocked for being psychology, 300 years before pyschology became fashionable. Distributism is such an intellectual movement.

I like distributionist ideas as well. I think you should study mutualism which is very similar but is more developed.

[Glyre777]

I'm not a Christian, but I see the great wisdom in Distributism...I am simply surprised that it is not more well known. I think I may be a distributist.

[TheMedievalMan]

LOL, this is what everyone always tells me, every time I tell them about Distributism. They accuse me of being some kind of Socialist.

So if a new business is growing within you model..at what point do you cut them off at the legs to prevent them from growing to Wal-Mart size? Which consumers lose out because they business was not allowed to grow to serve them? Who makes these decisions?
