Following upon the successful first volume of the Distributist Perspectivesseries, this second volume compiles almost a dozen essays by English Distributist authors. Some are some well-known to the public – like Eric Gill and Dorothy Sayers – and others less so, yet all bring important insights to the manifest problems of our society. Although most of the contributions were written five decades and more ago, it remains that the questions addressed by the writers have largely remained without any serious or permanent solution. Questions concerning the nature and end of education whether or not the press is free, the satisfactory (or otherwise) nature of work, along with the question of smaller communities, family farms, and a just balance between the spiritual and material needs human person. This anthology presents to a new generation answers that were formulated by one of the most thoughtful and original groups of thinkers in English Catholic history – answers that have been largely forgotten or ignored since WWII, but which have lost none of their timeliness or relevance.
