One of the reasons I've been tinkering with Chesterton cartoons is to find a way to help Distributism go "mainstream". Feel free to use the cartoon from this post if it helps. It's encouraging to learn there's a Yahoo Group devoted to the cause - is the membership growing? <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/blogs/the-generosity-of-bloggers/" rel="nofollow">The Generosity of Bloggers</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hello Roy, (Hope that’s OK; please call me Brad) -

“The Distributive Voice” looks fascinating – thank you so much for bringing it our attention. One of the reasons I’ve been tinkering with Chesterton cartoons is to find a way to help Distributism go “mainstream”. Feel free to use the cartoon from this post if it helps. It’s encouraging to learn there’s a Yahoo Group devoted to the cause – is the membership growing?

Moore Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:33:45 +0000 http://www.wordsellinc.com/?p=964#comment-3172 Dear Mr. Shorr, Looks like Richard beat me to it on those two good Distributist links. But there are also two others I wish to bring up. One is "The Distributist Voice", covering events in America and elsewhere from the Distributist standpoint - http://www.distributistvoice.blogspot.com The other is the Distributism Yahoo Group, where there are very good and involved discussions on Distributism in regards to labor, monetary policy, agriculture, trade, government affairs, defense of the traditional family and so on. And you'll find the archive in "The ChesterBelloc Mandate" blog a Fort Knox of information and education, to say the least. Many, many thanks for your interest in this alternative to capitalism and socialism. And many thanks for your time and attention. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Roy F.

Looks like Richard beat me to it on those two good Distributist links.

For many, Distributism seems to be the cataylst for those progressives and conservatives who have much in common and are looking for a third way. For some of your readers who may be aware of the great work of economist E.F. Schumacher, they may be interested to know how deeply Distributism had an impact on him and other organisations such as the Mondragon Cooperative in Spain. We have just begun a non-profit, The Society for Distributism, and our first event will be debating Michael Novak and Dr. Charles Clark on April 4th, at Nassau Community College, Long Island, New York. If you don't mind shameless links, might I refer your readers to: www.distributist.blogspot.com - an archive on Distributist literature. and www.distributism.blogspot.com - a blog on the economic model. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Richard Alemans last blog post..<a href="http://distributism.blogspot.com/2008/12/democrats-for-life-november-newsletter.html" rel="nofollow">Democrats for Life: November Newsletter</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Dear Brad,

Chesterton often used the European peasant society as an illustration of distributism, where families owned their land and homes and took care of their economic needs locally. The family was the basic economic and social unit. Of course today "property" can be in the form of real estate or a hundred other things, such as shares of stock. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/marketing/the-best-marketing-advice-that-came-my-way/" rel="nofollow">The Best Marketing Advice that Came My Way</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hi Andrew, Sorry I am not familiar with that Charter at all.
