Title: Hilaire Belloc
Description: 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.
