What would Chesterton make of our mess? |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~--------------~~~~~~~~~?
From the November 2008 Gilbert magazine:
"What would Chesterton Make of this mess? A quote from As I Was Saying sums up these faults succinctly. "For they hold as their chief heresy, in a coarcer form, the fundamental falsehood that things are not made to be used but made to be sold. All the collapse of their commercial system in our own time has been due to that fallacy of forcing things on a market where there was no market; of continually increasing the power of supply without increasing the power of demand; or briefly, of always considering the man who sells the potato and never considering the man who eats it.""
NOTE: Chesterton died seventy two years ago.
Have a good IDea today,
