More Description Intriguing and informative, this biography celebrates one of England's most respected and beloved 20th-century Catholic sons. Based on sound scholarship and thorough research, this study deals with the life; background; intellectual context; political and economic beliefs, particularly those concerning the theory that capitalism and socialism are not two distinct thoughts but rather Siamese twins; and overall work of Hilaire Belloc.
