How to Read Distributism: A Manifesto MOBI
In 1937, the guild socialism pioneer Arthur Penty was asked by the Distributist League if he would write them a manifesto. This radical document is the result. Distributists - the followers of Hilaire Belloc and G.K. Chesterton, and the Ditching artists and crafts-people - had been thinking and campaigning for more than two decades, and the League itself for eleven years, so this is a considered and mature piece - the last thing that Penty ever wrote.It reveals a creed that is more radical and more spiritual than any mainstream politics today. It still has the power to inspire now when, arguably, we need it all the more.
