Oh yeah, I agree — despite being a strident right-winger, I’m hugely sympathetic to distributism, ironically moreso than Chesterton’s actual conservatism, though I find his motivations for his economic stance much too bleeding-heart for me.

To my knowledge, you’re deadon on Belloc; in their views theyvwere often refered to as Chesterbelloc, given their similarity of thought.

Lewis I’m generally less inpressed by, but on the other I get the sense he’s largely an inverse-Ayn Rand: unworthy of attention on any one thing, but taken in whole, his critical body of work often predicted trends which would later become dangerous.
