Utopia of Usurers and Other Essays ebook

This two-part book by one of the twentieth century's best authors is an entertaining work that will appeal to both experts and students for the depth of its thought and the freshness of its arguments. The first section is a logical examination of capitalism's theory, effects, and claims. The second part contains a comprehensive compilation of pieces from Chesterton's considerable journalistic output. By giving a philosophical study of the problems, limitations, and fallacies of capitalism and its inevitability, the author criticises the fundamental assumptions of capitalism without favouring socialism or Marxism. This is an essential read for anybody conducting serious research on anti-capitalist ideas. It is also an example of how Christian ideals and thought may be applied to the industrial world.
