[0807] Distributist Party, 1933-1935, COLL MISC 0791

Location: Archive and Special collections, British Library of Political and Economic Science, 10 Portugal Street, London WC2A 2HD, England

Description: Distributionists believe that the means of production should be distributed as widely as possible among the populace. Distributism opposes Communism and Socialism and any form of centralisation. It embraces property of ownership, small economies of scale, belief in God and maintaining families, and sensible technology. Distributism is generally against big systems and in favour of small and private systems. Distributism promotes independence and self-reliance provided they are understood to be subsequent to higher values such as religious faith and promotion of the family. The Distributist League was founded in 1926. Its President was the writer G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). The Distributist Party was formed at a meeting at the Charing Cross Hotel on 25th May 1933. A resolution was passed at the meeting that the party should pursue "...the encouragement of individual ownership in the means of livelihood; the dispersal of unnecessarily large aggregates of industrial and commercial capital..." Papers of Harry Hutchinson, relating to the Distributist Party.
