Description

Utopia Of Usurers And Other Essays is purely the own experience of Sir G.K. Chesterton. This compilation of Chesterton's articles includes a variety of condensed pieces on political and economic subjects that are mostly focused on people and events from his own time. These articles were ostensibly chosen and assembled as the best representations of Chesterton's own political-economic philosophy, a goal that was successfully attained. The author is ruthless in his criticism of the wealthy and elitist social elite who wish to impose their beliefs on everyone else. Sir Chesterton demonstrates how every area of daily life has been severely harmed by a mindset that views money gain as the end of life, at the expense of those higher and human qualities without which life is hardly worth living, using his classic humor and rigorous logic.
