Just one more point on re-reading both of these.

The end-result of Chestertonian distributism is an economy of tradesmen and small farmers. In other words, it is an economy of the self-employed. The US still has 20% of the work force that is self-employed and only 1/4 of those are doctors, lawyers, and others offering professional services. Anything which enables others to become self-employed moves us in that direction.

Any distributist approach cultivates the possibility and mentality of self-employment. Whatever form that takes is OK with me, even if that is the paradox of self-employment as a member of a larger firm.
