When ever I read some advocacy for distributism I’m invariably reminded of this passage in P.G. Wodehouse :

“Bingo,” I cried deeply moved, “you must act. You must assert yourself. You must put your foot down. You must take a strong stand. You must be master in the home.”

He looked at me a long strange look. “You aren’t married, are you , Bertie?”

“You know I’m not.”

“I should have guessed it anyway”

In similar manner the advocates of distributism do their worst to likewise make that economic system look as impractical and as absurd as possible to anyone with any practical experience who is actually making a living in the manner distributism advocates go all misty eyed over.
