In my posting yesterday (on Christianity and Slavery)
http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2011/08/christianity-and-slavery.html
I included the following sentence:
"all attempts to link Christianity with specific economics are mistaken".
This was me trailing a coat before (i.e. seeking to provoke a reaction from) distributists, some of whom have been known to read the blog.
While I personally am quite strongly drawn to distributist ideas, as a look at my bookshelves would make clear, and I am aware that they are part of Roman Catholic teaching - in some strands, at least - I think the Chesterbellocian link to Christianity is mistaken.
I also think that a distributist economic system is semi-modern (neither ancient nor modern - in-between), hence a transitional state for human society, hence non-viable in the ong term.
Am I wrong?
