That was a good read. Will pick the book they reviewed. I think their criticisms of distributism is far, particularly when talking about government intervention.

The last part got me thinking:

“‘How are you going to keep them on the farm/After seeing Paree?’, and I don't think distributivists have a good answer to that.”

I think they do have a good answer and it comes from the incorporation of Catholic social teaching in the dignity of work and working together. Capitalism focuses primarily on economic incentives being the main motivator so overlooks this.
