• The Distributist Review
  
  updated: 2008 Jun 25 Wed
  Slave labor. To make bricks. In 2009. No word yet on the forecast for the next round of plagues.

  I've been away, updating pennyjustice.com
• Roadside GMO Corn
  
  updated: 2008 Feb 02 Sat
  There's nothing like stopping at a roadside stand. Now you can get sweet corn that's fresh, local, and genetically engineered. Oh, didn't you know?
• Announcing Penny Justice
  
  updated: 2007 Dec 12 Wed
  I hope that Penny Justice can be a place where Catholics find out about Distributists, Distributists find out about Permaculturists, Permaculturists find out about Catholics, everyone finds out about Humanure - you get the idea.
• Spreading the Laptop Virus?
  
  updated: 2007 Dec 01 Sat
  Before the XO, all they could do together was climb trees, shout in each other's faces, laugh their heads off, and (presuming a poverty of cars) run wild through the streets. Now, at last, comes a bountiful wealth of experience.
• Selections from “Usury”
  
  updated: 2007 Oct 09 Tue
  “The island upon which New York stands was bought from the Indians for the value of twenty-four dollars by Peter Minuits in 1626. Yet, if the purchaser had put his twenty-four dollars at interest, where he could have added it to the principal at the rate of seven per cent., the accumulation would now exceed the total value of the entire city and county of New York.”

• Distributism, as defined in G.K.’s Weekly
  
  updated: 2007 Sep 05 Wed
  What is Distributism? So many definitions have been given that the question ought to be a party game, and I myself have been guilty. But I’ve just found that Chesterton published a marvelously succinct definition himself in the pages of his own newspaper.

• Usury: The Dirty Word
  
  updated: 2007 Jul 21 Sat
  The author, Calvin Elliott, has a simple thesis: any interest on any loan is usury. Theft. A crime. Period. It’s not every day that someone makes Belloc look like a permissive capitalist.

• The Complicity of Jobs
  
  updated: 2007 Mar 31 Sat
  Curtis White: “What the environmental movement is not very good at is acknowledging that something in the very fabric of our daily life is deeply anti-nature as well as anti-human…Perhaps the most powerful way in which we conspire against ourselves is the simple fact that we have jobs.”

• Discussion on “Made in China”
  
  updated: 2007 Mar 17 Sat
  I have been doing something for the last month. I’ve been writing about my own blog.

• Made in China: The New Plantations
  
  updated: 2007 Feb 06 Tue
  I mean that we, today, live off slave labor. We keep it out of sight, like the Northern men who made tidy fortunes exporting Southern cotton. But Southern cotton is as close as your nearest Home Depot.

• Linux and the Catholic Church
  
  updated: 2006 Oct 19 Thu
  Should the Catholic Church use Linux? On principle?

• Distributism VI: Guilds Aren’t Government
  
  updated: 2005 Feb 17 Thu
  The Capitalist might try to prove that corporations are the one guardian angel standing between us and Red Washington. Clearly, our free market friends at Halliburton, Monsanto, and Micro$oft are the last hope of the free world.

• Distributism V: Might, Right, and Kites
  
  updated: 2005 Jan 26 Wed
  I’m a grown man. I’m bigger than my daughter. I have the ability to make a fist and bash her face in. I don’t have the right, but I do have the might.

• Distributism IV: Make Farms, Not Stupid Cliches
  
  updated: 2004 Dec 04 Sat
  So how do we escape our current ridiculous inequality without committing injustice ourselves?

• Distributism III: Capitalism: If It’s Not Fixed, Break It
  
  updated: 2004 Nov 29 Mon
  The rich tax us; we tax the scantily paid wage slaves that pick our food and make our clothes and build our life-saving medical technology.

• Distributism II: Why Can’t Everyone Be Rich?
  
  updated: 2004 Nov 18 Thu
  The monitor, your chair, your socks–strangers worked hard to craft your most intimate stuff.

• Distributism I: The Ballad Begins
  
  updated: 2004 Nov 12 Fri
  For those of the Catholic persuasion, it might be worth noting that this radical take on our economy has been with us for awhile, cropping up here and there in the writings of various fringe socialists such as Pope Pius XI.

• Thomas Jefferson, Distributist
  
  updated: 2004 May 27 Thu
  Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometric progression as they rise. –Thomas Jefferson
