Distributism

Distributism is an economic philosophy advocating for widely distributed ownership of productive assets, such as land, businesses, and property. It emphasizes promoting small-scale ownership and local control over wealth, aiming to reduce inequality and prevent monopolies. Distributists believe a society where many individuals own and operate assets fosters stability, community well-being, and economic freedom, contrasting with concentrated wealth and corporate dominance. The goal is to create a more just economy where ownership is accessible to many, encouraging self-sufficiency, social harmony, and sustainable development.
