Distributist,,

I have read Belloc. Great book. But there is one huge fly in the ointment. There needs to be an all powerful body that gets to take from one and give to another.

And you end up with corportism. Distribustism is a nice theory, but won’t work any better in practice because all that power will lead to corruption. Just like now.

Your comment is a fair one. I fear that all economic systems either require brute force to set up, require brute force to maintain -- sometimes both of these -- or else devolve into corruption and power politics (which is what I see in our system today).

I'm still looking for a perfect economic system. Sadly, Distributism isn't it.
