What's Wrong with the World
G. K. Chesterton
Book Overview:
The title of Chesteron’s collection of essays was inspired by a title given to him two years earlier by The Times newspaper, which had asked a number of authors to write on the topic: “What’s wrong with the world?”. Chesterton’s answer at that time was the shortest of those submitted – he simply wrote: “Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G.K. Chesterton”. In this collection he gives a fuller treatment of the question, with his characteristic conservative wit.

I listened to this on audiobook before going to bed for a few nights. I loved it. Very relevant for today. The more Chesterton that I digest the more that I love the guy.
Brilliant. Also listened to it on Audible, and finished it in November of 2016.
This collection of social and political essays is filled with the wit, wisdom, and whimsy that makes Chesterton such a joy to read. But it is not all light-hearted. He is a powerful, and often forceful, writer. In it he addresses the social ills brought about by the two primary political solutions o
This book provides near to irrefutable evidence that Chesterton was a prophet, a seer of the future. The truth, however, is more pedestrian -- that Chesterton could immediately recognize the foibles, follies, and lies that eventually poison and kill a culture.
So, in this work, Chesterton repeatedly
Oh Chesterton.
You are pretty freaking clever guy, and I love how much you love the poor and think women are glorious generalists and men have sort of a rotten lot in life and that democracy can only take us so far and it is ok to drink and be dirty if that is what you want to do sometimes. I would h
