This short book review of Médaille's work on distributism underlines that it is not enough to criticize some faults of mainstream economics when you wish to offer a real alternative. In a quite explicit way, Médaille champions a mixed economy, thus giving room for the logic of authoritarianism. In the corporatist society imagined by the author, it would be easy for the politically strong to exploit the politically weak, as can be observed in many real-life situations.

Abstract
This short book review of Médaille's work on distributism underlines that it is not enough to criticize some faults of mainstream economics when you wish to offer a real alternative. In a quite explicit way, Médaille champions a mixed economy, thus giving room for the logic of authoritarianism. In the corporatist society imagined by the author, it would be easy for the politically strong to exploit the politically weak, as can be observed in many real-life situations.File in questo prodotto:
