Netherlands, this 10-12 August 2009, affirm Article 16, par. 3, of the Universal

the State.'

The
economic crisis that emerged in late 2008 and the predictable
responses it elicited from those in power has served to
highlight the extent to which concepts such as human scale, the
distribution of power, and our responsibility to the future have
been eliminated from the public conversation.

By Allan C. Carlson, Ph.D.
One of the more curious aspects
of last Autumn’s global financial meltdown was the blame that was actually
heaped on Distributist Theory. The argument sounded like this: efforts in
America to extend property ownership in homes went too far; resulting in the
issuance of “subprime” loans to unqualified buyers; resulting in turn in a
liquidity crisis at the banks; bringing on a credit squeeze, panic, and global
depression. This explanation has proven wonderfully useful. It has allowed
inept bankers, market speculators, and the advocates of economic globalism to
shift responsibility away from their own misdeeds and from the inherent
instability of finance capitalism, and to place the blame instead on the
slumping shoulders of G.K. Chesterton and a modest number of lower-income
Americans.

The Family in America: Retrospective and Prospective
By Allan C. Carlson, Ph.D.

crisis in modern America. I had recently completed my doctoral dissertation,
which had investigated the origins of family policy in Sweden during the 1920s
and 1930s. A National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, provided through
the American Enterprise Institute, represented an opportunity to apply aspects
of my Swedish analysis to family trends in America.
