Intriguing and informative, this biography celebrates one of England's most respected and beloved 20th-century Catholic sons. Based on sound scholarship and thorough research, this study deals with the life; background; intellectual context; political and economic beliefs, particularly those concerning the theory that capitalism and socialism are not two distinct thoughts but rather Siamese twins; and overall work of Hilaire Belloc. Including a particularly useful focus upon his early career and pre-1920 intellectual background and development, this survey depicts one of Distributism's greatest figures, one of the Church's most worthy apologists, and one of the English language's most noteworthy modern talents.

Seller's Description:
Ft cover illus of Belloc. G PB. Best remembered today as a poet, literary critic and Catholic apologist, this new intellectual biography shows us another. Belloc, a radical-liberal, a staunch individualist who saw imperialist, protectionist, and collectivist departures from the radical ideal as largely motivated by the opportunity for private gain. Sheds new light on the roots of British and American social welfare legislation and he became convinced that party divisions and the "new liberalism" masked a fundamental subservience to a dominant plutocracy, and that England was moving toward a state which would be neither conventionally socialist nor conventionally capitalist, but servile. Spine tanned.
