Distributivism, also known as Distributism, is an economic theory formulated by Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton largely in response to the principles of Social Justice laid down by Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum Novarum. Its key tenet is that ownership of the means of production should be as widespread as possible rather than being concentrated in the hands of a few owners (Capitalism) or in the hands of state bureaucrats (Socialism). Belloc did not believe that he was developing a new economic theory, but rather expounding an old and widespread one against the novelties of both Capitalism and Socialism. whom jobs and growth are increasingly dependent.

"...production should be as widespread as possible rather than being concentrated in the hands of a few owners (Capitalism)"Redefine and conquer, great!! OK, here goes:
Free enterprise posits that people should embrace their humanity rather than merely live like roaches eating their young (distributism).

widespread ownership of the means of production comes from small businesses.
However, statism/corporatism squeezes out the entreprenuer’s motivation. The main incentive is wealth or earned success (being relative)
This downturn has exposed our societies’ laziness and downright lack of intelligence.
