What Is Wrong with the World
by G.K. Chesterton
by G.K. Chesterton
A fascinating critique of not just what is wrong, but also with the ways proposed to right the wrong.
Chesterton's summary of his book: to show that progress ought to be based on principle, while our modern progress is mostly based on precedent.
In seeking progress, we look forward with enthusiasm because we are afraid to look back. The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been tried and found difficult; and left untried.
