Publisher's Synopsis

In What's Wrong With the World Gilbert K. Chesterton identified many things wrong with the world, including social evil, prejudices that stop people from discussing social solutions in open and honest forums, an inability to learn from the past, the destruction of the family unit, the dehumanization of modern industrialism, and commercialism.

Chesterton wrote about 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories, 4000 essays, and several plays. He was a literary and social critic, historian, playwright, novelist, Catholic theologian and apologist, debater, and mystery writer. He was a columnist for the Daily News, The Illustrated London News, and his own paper, G. K.'s Weekly. Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour. He employed paradox, while making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and many other topics.

This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
