With this important reserve, G.K. Chesterton gives an amazingly perceptive analysis of social and moral issues, a lot more relevant today than in his very own time. Having a light, funny firmness but a lethal serious idea, he responses on errors in education, on feminism vs. accurate womanhood, for the importance of the kid, and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters’ assaults on the normal man and the family.

Chesterton possessed the genius to foresee the problems of implementing modernist proposals. He knew that lax moral criteria would lead to the dehumanization of man. In this publication, he staunchly defends the family against those ideas and institutions that would subvert it and therefore deliver man into the hands of the servile state. In addressing what’s incorrect, he also shows clearly what is right, and how to change things for the reason that direction.
