In these articles, written between 1913 and 1915 for the left-leaning Daily Herald, Chesterton allows himself the freedom to rage eloquently against capitalism without favoring socialism or Marxism. He applies his Christian principles and thinking to the socioeconomic conditions of his time. The first section presents an analysis of capitalism; the second contains articles challenging capitalism’s fundamental tenets. Chesterton reveals that the real essence of the “Liberal System’s” utopia is to benefit the few by gradually enslaving the already impoverished.
