So this guy has no idea what economists mean by "demand," as evidenced by this video, and people are still giving him the time of day? As usual, this type knows nothing except what he's read in the pamphlets his crazy publishing houses put out. Ignoramuses like these should be ignored.

on quick response to your video at 3:07 you say that people with no income have alot of demand, that is not true, In economics demand is you have a desier to have that and also that you can afford it. So if you have no source of income you demand nothing cause you can't afford anything. That is simple economics 101. If income goes down demand for normal goods goes down and visa versa.

The Church does advocate Justice and Charity & Truth. And if you read Rerum Novarum, you will find the church also advocates private property. The problem with laissez faire economics is the same problem with Socialism; concentration of economic & political power in the hands of a small elite.We oppose both forms of Monopoly. "Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists." G.K. We've avoided slavery here by enslaving foreigners through so-called "free trade".

The most balanced post I've read under this video. Hat tip.

When did I ever claim that my opinions are unique (by the strictest definition of the word) or novel?

Apparently you fail to realize that what we believe is the product of reason, logic, experience, and maybe even emotion. None of these are new, and neither of us could take credit for our having found something new when relying upon them.

I linked my recent blog regarding the abuse of the principle of subsidiarity by classical liberals and even many distributists.

Well I assume if you accept the authroity of the Catholic Church, you would incorperate such outlooks in your own and by extension a youtube video you would make pretaining to such a topic such as this. 99.9% of all ideas are recycled.

Again- the Church has never touted distributism. It is Catholic writers like Belloc and Chesterton who have.

There is no Church authority from mere men- even if they are intelligent.

Again, the Church focuses on subsidiarity, solidarity and charity. That is all.

Distributism is already practiced by Asians, as they often own co ops, family businesses etc.

Distributism will NOT WORK for caucasians who are too busy contracepting to have large families- which are required for family businesses.

Saying the Church never touted distributism (the word) doesn't mean that the philosophy and policies held and advocated by distributists aren't identical to those found in the encyclicals. That argument, consistently applied to other beliefs, would make Trinitarianism a hard sell, as Scripture doesn't use the word.

My blog on subsidiarity is linked in the sidebar.

Distributism emphasizes small, locally owned businesses, but I know of none who define this as being family-runned businesses.

Finding Chesteron & Belloc is Finding Something...Something that the public school system has managed to hide. I would go so far to say that " the System" if I may use such a broad term, would prefer it never be found. Jewels are Jewels because they are rare. People do not find jewels of knowledge these days because they cannot read a map. If fact, many do not read or are too busy balancing their shaky relationships and wage slavery to do research. Chesterton and Belloc understood the game.:-)

Yes the Pope supports unions, but I very much doubt he looks favourably at the bureaucratic nonsense they've become in the west.
