The Coming American Default
If Secretary Geithner is “open” to the idea of the end of the United States’ domination of the economic and political processes of the world, which would result from the toppling of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, Barack Obama seems to be acting as if that “toppling” has already taken place.
Economia libertăţii. O economie personalistă
Cu capitalismul corporat / globalist se întâmplă același lucru: metoda de a rezista pe piaţă e traficul de influenţă exercitat pe lângă politicieni și impunerea mijloacelor non-economice de asanare a pieţei – asistenţa socială, creditul (camătă), caritatea; capitalismul pretinde ca apără piaţa liberă, dar se folosește de metode socialiste / colectiviste pentru a supravieţui.
The Outline of Sanity
The economic meltdowns of the last few years have indicated the fallacy that underlies the very system itself. This fallacy is that if you have a system in which all men seek, and are even encouraged to seek, after their own private economic well being, the community and nation as a whole will be the beneficiary of that economic self-seeking.

We must use the fundamentals we have inherited and the innate opportunities in today’s reemerging interest in Distributism as a tour de force through the Internet, published works, conferences, and political influences.
A Real Catholic Monarchy
A thing without proper limits becomes its own opposite, and benevolence quickly becomes a tyranny which threatens both civil and religious order.
Flee to the Fields
Flee to the Fields presents a defense of the movement that had such prestigious backers as Belloc, G. K. Chesterton, and Fr. Vincent McNabb. It was the desire to see a reorientation of the Catholic soul toward life on the land.
Dorothy Day and Distributism
The only way to combat both the forces of big business and big government is with a society of owners, families who own their own property, workers who own their own businesses. Worker ownership is not only more respectful of the dignity of the person, but it produces goods of greater quality.
Un model de distributism: Grameen Bank
Consider că Dr. Yunus şi Papa Benedict au dreptate, iar bancherii se înşeală. Într-adevăr, omul este egoist, însă el înseamnă mai mult decât atât. Un sistem bancar întemeiat numai pe egoism va da naştere doar unei ordini sociale bazate pe egoism.
