Distributism is not synonymous with government redistribution. This book delves into the foundational principles of the distributist concept, enabling the reader not only to grasp the essence of distributism but also to comprehend its underlying rationale. In essence, distributism promotes the widespread private ownership of local, independent businesses and emphasizes the importance of a robust local economy as the bedrock of a resilient national economy. Furthermore, it champions the decentralization of governmental authority, in contrast to the prevailing trend of central government expansion and consolidation of power.
