Title: An essay on the restoration of property
First published: 1936
Description: "Distributism has been criticized for lacking a concrete plan and coherent program to implement its well-articulated Vision. Alleged evidence of this charge is the fact that the Distribusists, who formed the Distributist League in 1926 under the direction of Capt. Herbert Shove, were unable to turn their vision into a concrete social and political program that produced visible, tangible fruit.".

"The present essay should be sufficient in itself to silence all such criticism on the first count. Herein it is at once obvious and striking just how practical the Distributist Vision was; practical not in the sense of easy, but practical in the sense of being articulated with a view toward application and implementation.

For in the Restoration of Property, Belloc's concern is not so much with explaining what a Distributist society is, but with sketching, even if in neccessarily brief and vague terms, what that society looks like, how it might be achieved, and how it should be preserved."--BOOK JACKET.
