If I weren't on a self-imposed book-buying hiatus, I'd be buying this one in a heart beat: *Chesterton's America: A Distributist History of the United States*.

[Mary Kochan reviews it at Catholic Lane](http://catholiclane.com/book-review-chestertons-america/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpt:

> What makes this book so urgent for us as Catholics and as Americans is that the Great Recession has created a strange and wonderful opening for us. The shattered dreams of the Capitalist system would likely drive a mass exodus to Marxism if every attempt to instantiate that system had not so dramatically collapsed in living memory. With the rubble of one materialistic “ism” behind them and another falling in ruins around their ears, our once self-confident secular compatriots seem momentarily open to considering, of all things, what the Church has and has had to say on economic issues.
